It's amazing how people build houses and stores and places just to get away from the outdoors. We came from the outdoors. We are ruining it.

I was cleaning all the fast food wrappers and cigarette butts from the Meijer parking lot today, when I happened over a stunningly beautiful view on the west side down a hill. It had the most beautiful purple flowers, in full blosom, beech trees, tall grass, that is browning in the knowing that it will soon be time to die in order to renew the cycle it was born into. I stood there for a moment and looked about my feet. The dirty trash of humanity had destroyed the view, and I was overcome with sorrow. We came from that, and all we do is destroy it in hopes of living the "good life". What good is life when you've ruined everything you ever had, and you have nothing beautiful to pass on to your children. Nothing but stories of beauty, things they may as well never see, except maybe tainted in captivity.

It's not ruined. It's changed. Something new, something different. Sometimes even better.

Don't just focus on the beautiful trees and grass. Think of the nettles, the biting flies, the bees, the bears, the mosquito. I think living in my house is way better then the woods.

But soon, in fact already, many of us will not even have the chance to see both sides of the spectrum to make the descision of weither or not they "...think living in [the] house is way better then the woods."

Does this need to be discussed?
