Parts of the world are beautiful, true--but sometimes I wonder. I wonder about all the shit that goes on everyday, the things people do to each other... It hurts so much sometimes, seeing and thinking about the things that go on in this world, sometimes I wonder whether that theory presented in the virus thread is right, and humanity is really a plague on the planet. How much of the true beauty that you see is created by man? We admire large constructions created by our own hands, like the Golden Gate Bridge, or the Empire State Building. But compare those to the Grand Canyon, or a beautiful sunset, and they can't even hold a candle to these natural wonders. And often our actions speed the destruction of many of these things we find so beautiful. Sometimes, I just don't know.
Quote:
"I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, to tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time."
-John Coffey, The Green Mile
