The best analogy I ever read on how people are taking what's happening to the #planet #earth now.
"There, in this burning house, they play, sport, and amuse themselves with all sorts of games. They do not know that this dwelling is afire, they do not understand it, do not perceive it, pay no attention to it, and so they feel no agitation. Though threatened by this great [fire], though in such close contact with so much ill, they pay no attention to their danger, and make no efforts to get out."
-- from The Saddharmapundarika, in Buddhist Scriptures, Edward Conze (Penguin Books, 1959)
