Humans in Peril



The earth is our psychiatrist. "Earth," we cry in the middle of the night when the loneliness of mortality boils to our chins, "help me help myself." Are we afraid to admit we need to change for ourselves? Is there something inherently easier about saving the planet for the planet's sake and than for our own? The human race is becoming more and more like a politician, afraid to admit we've done wrong, afraid to be weak, afraid to be human. Yes, I think that's it, the human race is afraid to be human.

let us not forget; now isn't this funny.
