As I lay under a cancerously intense sun that is as painful as the mosquitoes, pondering how every parking lot could have been a grove of trees, grasses and bushes, full of life instead of wasted metal.. I think of the elites who laugh at notions of tire dust poisoning our lungs… and islands of plastic and rivers, once fit for drinking, now poisoned
..
I think of bodily autonomy and generosity and other things relating an individual's nature.
And I think of all the ignorance of the well meaning I have spoken with. And the sadism and greed of many who simply don't care about the kittens and puppies their minions and neighbors kill for fun.
So I have nothing in the way of hope, but still so many opinions and desires. If I have any hope at all, it is 2fold that we all get what we deserve someday.
But would I care if I had not suffered? If I could terraform a planet to my liking, would I care that we did more to ruin the Earth than to work towards making other planets inhabitable?
I think I would, looking at how I've reacted in many situations, and I look upon others, and see that we aren't *just* what we are raised with. But bothered I am, still, for even the well meaning of the privileged, there is extreme ignorance.
