Its the map of my childhood, my sadness, my Eden, my hell and home. when I look at it now, my heart swells with gratitude, then shrinks with disgust.

About This Quote

The earth looks so beautiful it makes me sad. Back in the days when I was young, I loved to imagine what it would be like to travel around the planet, seeing all the beautiful scenery and exploring the unknown. Now that I am older, I see how much of a mess my planet is. Not only is there pollution and overpopulation, but humans don't take care of the planet as they should. It's just disgusting to think that we are destroying our planet just to keep ourselves alive.
