According to “Paul Kingsnorth”, a former green activist, the future of humanity is black. He thinks global warming, melting ice caps, vanishing plants, species and a growing population is adversely affecting the environment. But nothing is being done to overcome these issues.
He thinks that space colonization is not as practical as it was in 1950s. Back in 1950s, more resources were available, there were possibilities of new technologies which would help humans to reach other worlds. But today the change in environment and increase in population is making things difficult. We are now often distracted from facing the reality and trusting on to the things which are highly impossible.
I would say (a) is your answer because having money or a lot of friends isn't a good choice in life. I mean, sometimes it's good to hang with a lot of friends but it's better to have a little bit. And it's good to be rich and all, but having a lot of money comes with a lot of responsibility to be honest. But most importantly, you have to make sure that your feelings matter and be happy because being happy is the best feeling in life; a better feeling than having money and a bunch of friends.
