yesterday, as i was coming home, i stopped by the grocery store. while i was waiting to register my things, the tv was on and played some news about how 2010 is going to be one of the hottest years to date.
no surprises there. even though i already knew that, i felt really sad.
sad because we are ruining our home and because it is becoming increasingly unbearable to stand the changes.
i don't know how one can even think of bringing a new human being to this world. if we are already paying for our parents' and their parents' mistakes, could we do the same to our children? bring them into a world so deep in destruction and expect them to survive it and - probably - save it?
it is us who have to do something about it, not wait for the next generation to come and do it for us. we need to fix the planet, take care of it and then the ones after us must preserve it that way. they must learn from our mistakes and never let something like this happen again.
if they (actually,
we) ever make it, of course. because the Earth will regenerate itself and we will bring something so bad upon us it will aniquilate us. and then it will start all over again, hopefully in a better way for the beautiful planet we came to be born in.
