As the Amazon rain forest continues to be buried in its own ashes, capitalists grin ear to ear as their pockets ignite. Being in a position where I don’t experience firsthand affection from this problem, all I can ask is: “Where has humanity gone?”
People are literally overlooking the urgency in this situation — we are almost always either unaware or simply just apathetic. A lot of us only ‘care’ because we are scared of the consequences it brings. A lot of us only ‘care’ to join the bandwagon. And the sad truth is, a lot of us don’t even care. Perhaps, in their minds they always question: “why bother?”
Behind all of these are our hyprocrite selves who are mere leeches of the Earth. Even between the educated and not, there are no exceptions. Most especially the capitalists who are willing to shed the forests in exchange for the satisfaction of temporary greed with temporary wealth. TEMPORARY — we are causing permanent destruction to what we do not own in exchange for it. The ice are melting, the forests are burning, ecosystems are vanishing. Who are we to blame? What privilege do we hold that we cannot share with the future generations? Do we even think of the future?
If this continues, time will come when everything we have, we destroy. We need to be sincere and concrete with our resolutions if we care. The capitalists already have more than enough for them to dwell in their places. But even I couldn’t provide a solution to this problem.
My point? To care and do something about it. Because we should. Otherwise we would turn to the molten souls of the future.
