Bridges

I hate the world.

To be specific, I hate what humanity has done to the world. Regardless of what religion says, this world was a better place before we came along. We are not superior creatures. The only thing we have going for us is our intelligence and that really doesn't count when you look at how we've used it. All of our achievements have been aimed towards making our own lives easier, simpler, and giving the illusion of betterment. Face it people, humans are lazy. Everything we do is just an attempt to do less in the future. We took the time to tame horses just because we were too impatient to make the journey on our own two feet. When fierce beasts of the wild were deemed too slow for us, along came Henry Ford with his automobile assembly lines.

Speed speed speed. The beauty of the natural world that we're ever destroying is nothing more than a fleeting distraction. Can't have that, lad. Time is money after all. If you can't get to a place as fast as possible, why bother? Can't profit from some silly grass. Gads! Watch where you're going! This jacket cost me a fortune! Already got fifty more where that came from, but why waste money where it's already wasted? Come come now, laddie. Got to get those solid gold socks I've been eyeing, hmm?

It's far too late for redemption. We've led this world down the road of ruin and it's far too late to turn back. That bridge crumbled years ago. That bridge was one of a kind. That bridge was crafted from the rarest and finest of materials...materials that no amount of money could ever buy, because they are already gone. The great beings who crafted that bridge are no longer among us either. No matter how much we regret the past, that bridge will never return.

Might as well make the best of our imminent doom, right? No use worrying about what's already been done. Let's not linger on how that attitude got us here in the first place...





Now before you go thinking I'm a horrible person, go do yourself a favor and look at the date.

This world's still got some fight left in it.

I found your disclaimer at the end to be humorous, mostly because as you went through I was nodding my head in agreement... but other than that, yes, we do have some fight. I have fight, you have fight, hell, just check the little message under my profile pic.

My first thoughts though were "wow, someone just watched An Inconvenient Truth."

Humans are getting worse by the generation

" I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure. "
