I got to thinking... I was wrong, there is despair: it is in me. I honestly don't think we are going to fix this in time. I know there are a lot of people trying to help and I understand many of the obstacles. But I can't help wondering about what Jared Diamond said of the person who cut down the last tree on Easter Island. I also can't help wondering about all the people before that person. It must have been obvious that they were destroying their world... yet they did it anyway.
Sorry. I should really wait till my medication ends before I post. (Only another month to go.) The medication often makes me anxious and easily despondent.
