In reality, we all live on a space ship rushing through the universe. This spaceship is a work of marvel. It is self contained and has all the basic elements and resources to keep its crew healthy and happy on their journey. The problem, however, is the crew can't seem to control themselves. They insist on taking more from the ship's stores than the ship's system can replace. The crew members fight among themselves for more than their fair share of the supplies. They actually attack the life support system ripping down the fresh air mechanisms, fouling sources of fresh water, wastefully consuming precious supplies of fuel and even cause breakdowns in climate controls. With seemingly complete abandonment, they kill off a multitude of other life forms that play important and complex roles in keeping the ship functioning. While they are destroying their own ship, they dream of taking over other ships. What they do not seem to realize is that they will likely make their ship uninhabitable long before they could ever move to another.
