Healing With a Little Help Do you ever go outside and take a second to look around, and see everything that you have? What if one day it was all gone? Most people do not realize that they take advantage of what they have, even if it’s right in front of them. We humans need to focus on the renewable resources and help change our bad habits to save what is left of our planet. In the two srticles “A Good Without Light” by Curtis White and “The Climate at the End of our Fork” by Anna Lappe, both talk about how to change our bad habits and help save the sources we have left on this planet.

White states, “we can talk about our plans to save the world, but we can’t talk about the economic system that put it in jeopardy in the first place”(838). White is right.

“The Barbaric Heart is led to conclude that, in fact, prosperity is dependent on violence”(White 838). What is being conveyed in that statement is that you have to be “good” with violence and that being “barbaric” is another form of virtue. If you want to win and winning is everything, like getting everything you want, then you have to have a barbaric heart. But people have to acknowledge how greedy they are for certain things and need to decide what they really need and what they can live without. The barbaric heart in our society is not helping out with the land that is being destroyed, proving that winning isn’t everything. After winning everything, there is nothing else to get since the greedy people have destroyed it all. Everyone has to recognize the sustainability and what it has to offer to others. “Sustainability presents itself as a kind of wisdom,” that can compromise with the destructiveness we have caused already and can lead everyone to a path of healing (White 839). It can be achieved by how we measure
