The statement is perhaps more serious than it sounds. It does not only mean that although mankind claims to be the most advanced creature on the planet, mankind is utterly failing in leaving behind a safe and secure planet for its future generations. While it must be evident that man understands its own needs very well, man has constantly been proving that it is selfish and has no concern for its future generations. This is leading to extreme depletion of all the natural resources and will apparently leave nothing behind for the future to rely upon. This is why it has been said: “Are we to leave our successors a scorched planet of advancing deserts, impoverished landscapes, and an ailing environment?”. It is a topic to ponder upon and act accordingly.
