Quote by R. Buckminster Fuller

Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value.

Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting

Summary

This quote suggests that pollution occurs because we fail to recognize the potential value of certain resources. Instead of properly managing and utilizing these resources, we allow them to disperse and cause harm to the environment. It implies that our ignorance about the value of these resources is what leads to their wasteful and harmful disposal. In other words, if we were more aware of their worth, we would take better care of them and prevent pollution.

You experienced pain yesterday and you discovered that it led to pleasure.You experienced it today and found peace.That's why I'm telling you:Don't get used to it,because it's very easy to become habituated:it's a very powerful drug.It's in our daily lives,in our hidden sufferings,in the sacrifices we make,blaming love for the destruction of our dreams.Pain is frightening when it shows its real face, but it's seductive when it comes disguised as sacrifice or se-denial.Or cowardice.However much we may reject it,we human human beings always find a way of being with pain,of flirting with it and making it part of our lives.
