We set the example,
And accept the results.
At least until we can make it
Our enemies’ faults.
What’s bad for the goose
Is surely bad for the gander.
And Mother Earth cannot take
All the trash that we hand her.
Mother Nature, nervously,
Clears a dry throat.
Though many torments seem trivial
When held up to the boats.
It’s easy to overhear people postulate that the world is falling apart, and things used to be better. And if you look at very specific areas compared to very specific times, it’s easy to do. But if you know more about human history and behaviour, you know that is false. It is also potentially dangerous.
Things are bad, very bad. But so-called obvious reasons are often latched on to out of lack of knowledge. They seem obvious thanks to all the missing context and information. And all the assumptions we make based on our own extremely limited experiences.
