The world is vicious, too huge to care about even its own survival

Richard Powers
About This Quote

The world is vicious, too huge to care about even its own survival. The world would be such a better place if we all cared more about the survival of the world as a whole instead of just our own lives. Imagine if we all worked together to protect our planet and not let greedy corporations destroy it for profit. The planet will be saved and all will be happy and healthy and free.

However, the only way the planet can be saved is if we all work together to save it. Otherwise we may as well give up because we will never make any progress no matter how hard we try.
