The Sword of Damocles

"That sword! That sword!" cried Damocles. He was so badly frightened that he dared not move. "Yes," said Dionysius, "I know there is a sword above your head"

In the name of progress, we have come to live like a royalty; own everything and take more and more from the nature. Are we, Human Beings, going to continue on into the future without noticing the sword of Damocles hangs directly over our handiwork?
