About This Quote
From up here, the destruction seems to fade. Almost as if like people, in time, even the world can heal itself. It’s not like we don’t know what we’re doing to the planet and it’s not like we can really stop ourselves and it’s not like this is the first time humans have destroyed the planet or that it won’t happen again. We know all of this. But how do you make yourself feel better about it when every day brings news of some new tragedy? How do you make yourself feel better when you see how little humanity has changed since the beginning of time?
