About This Quote

Look around. Game dead, rivers black, land choked with weeds. Skies bleeding, red as blood. For what? Your kind are blind.

You see only the now. Never the will be. But soon you will.

When all is gone, when there are so many monkey-children that you murder for a scrap of land, a drop of clean water, then you will see."

It was also an effective reminder on how easy it is for things to go wrong in the world today more than ever before because of globalization and technology which makes everything easier these days than ever before in history thanks to us having more access to information than ever before thanks to the Internet. If this is true, then why are these things allowed? "Above all else: Be happy" I remember reading this quote when travelling abroad in Europe and hearing someone say this to someone else in English without any translation. To me it sounded like "Above all: Be happy," but when thinking about what this means I realized that this isn
