How narrow your view is.

How sad and singular its path.

How unable to witness the world’s beauty as its own.

Humans exist on a survivable vaneer created through chance and time, and we will equally cease to exist if that small biome is disrupted.

Your earlier comment states we could wipe the trees from existence on a whim, and you are completely correct, however how long would we survive without them?

Could you be so shallow to believe that the progress of other humans is so great, that we do not need the very nature that keeps us alive?

Sadness, all of it.
