Frankly, the world as we know it is going away, soon.

244. What? Angry that I reminded you that human beings have limitations?

At the end of the day, scientists are still fallible human beings.
They can study for 1,000s of years & Earth'll throw them for a loop in one instance.
What happened when the scientists discovered that each day doesn't necessarily run 24 exact hours?
That EVERY day is slightly different in length from the other & is always in some minor state of flux?
What does that do to our time system that we swear upon?

Human beings see, hear, feel, taste, smell.
But reality goes FAR BEYOND our limited senses.
We can't even see all there is to see...even with our special instruments.
We can't hear all there is to hear. We can't feel all there is to feel.
We can't taste all there is to taste & we can't smell all there is to smell.

We are trapped within our select perceptions of the world around us.
We build our systems based on our perceptions of reality.
But we'll NEVER know full reality because of our limitations.
We try to point out what's normal & what isn't when we never had all the information to make that determination.

"We can be anything we want to be if we work hard!"
No...you can't. Even if you work hard.
We have done great things in striving to achieve that ideal but don't let it go to your head.

This planet is WAY MORE advanced than the little creatures crawling upon it.
For us to have the notion that we can direct the fate of the planet is naïve at our current stage of development.
How are we gonna do that if we don't even know what's at the bottom of Earth's ocean floor?

When the Earth's climate changes there is little we can do to stop the negative effects upon us.
All we can do is try not to waste what the Earth provides us. To replenish what we take away for the sake of our survival.
The Earth becoming colder or warmer is out of our hands. All the smog in China won't rock this planet.

When you look at Earth from outer space, you can't see any trace of us or what we put together.
You can't even see The Great Wall of China.
You can only see vast blue oceans, gray/white mountain ranges, brown/green landmasses, & white cloud formations.
Puts it in perspective, doesn't it?
