thank you for your replies and coments. And for the person who said thank god this type of feeling is going away: That's what I'm talking about when Isay denial. People need to help the world. Let's say you are the human race, and the world is your best friend. You shot him accidentally, and you have the power to save him at no cost, what do you do? Leave him for dead? or save his life? Man are choosing choice #1 unfortunately, and it has to stop, the beauty of this incredible world will soon fade, and the human race will be blinded with thoughts of technology and the future.
You are right. Not only does our own world hold many wonders, but so does the rest of the Universe. There are things out there that we can only begin to grasp, such as time travel (which IS possible by the way). Yet we will never have the time to fully understand the mysteries of our existence among other things. Our planet is the only thing we have right now, and it is slowly fading away. It's as though the Earth were a clock that needed to be wound in order to run. The clock is running out, the key is right there in front of us and yet we don't reach out and turn it. It saddens me to think we may never leave our solar system. We sent people to the Moon, why not the Mars? What is being done to expand our view of the Universe? There is so much out there and we still have not really made an effort to discover it. Sure we've mapped the stars, sent a few probes out such as the two Voyager probes, but nothing more. I'm not sure about everyone else here but I would at least like to see humans leave our solar system before I die.
EDIT: It is very likely that the reason we haven't paid much attention to our world and everything else out there is because we are scared. Humans are afraid to admit that there is something mroe out there that is so massive and complex we can't understand it. We are afraid of the unknown, like death. So we shut it out and concentrate on other things, small things in our daily lives.
that's a great reason to save the planet. btw, nice simile about the clock and the key.
Thanks, can you believe that I suck at writing poetry?
