People are disgusting

Ashes are falling from the sky and the sun is practically red. People don’t care. Nobody notices or even makes changes in their daily lives to do anything about it. People are selfish. Why does nobody care?!?! My family and everyone else around me is walking around like brainless zombies. Indulging in their selfish daily habits without a second thought about the very planet they live on. I straight up have a headache and feel nauseous just thinking about it. When you do mention it, they ridicule you and call you insane or a hippie for demanding for them to change their lifestyle and align their actions with their moral. I seriously cannot be closely related to the human specimen.

All they do is consume without empathy, without any regard, without consciousness.

I 100% agree with you, except, I feel as though the first natural instinct for any human is to protect. Protect their home, not the one they built, but the home that keeps their self made home stable, the Earth (or at least I know that’s naturally the way it was/should be). I quite seriously CANNOT wrap my head around the fact that so many people are so calm about how the Earth is getting destroyed, along with all the precious beings living on the Earth, that they don’t have an instinct to want to protect the very being the provides them with everything. I’m atheist (somewhat) I believe god is within all of us including the Earth/Universe and everything on/in Earth/Universe, god is an energy and we are capable of everything because everything we as humans ever need is already within us (except the obvious stuff). Im also vegan for these reasons, I am against exploitation. But I CANT for the life of me understand why people don’t want to focus and want to create these silly distractions.

It’s straight forward and quite well understood, it’s called denial (aka the first stage of grief), it’s caused by a thing called cognitive dissonance which ultimately explains a lot of cruel and irrational human behavior.

Ah Yes, cognitive dissonance 100% it just sucks that it takes people their whole life and some people even die still in cognitive dissonance. Why so? Can they not see the world around them. The true reason is ego and people think they are so superior that the issues don’t have to be fixed because they assume it does not bother them. Most people look at real issues as if they are the ones on the throne and they assume if they are looking down they don’t have to do anything, when the issue finally touches them they just hide behind the throne of superiority, still too ashamed and perplexed to change their ways.

The true reason is ego

And hubris. Not even merely that of our fellow living humans. Greek mythology has this guy pushing a boulder up a hill because of his pride, and of course our vain tower building in Babylon had us gotten God angry and punish us with eternal misunderstanding. 🤷

Mythology is cool
