Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur, waiting for the comet to hit.

You’re right of course. The world has become a deadly accretion of ignorance waste excesses consumerism greed etc etc.

I was lucky, connected very deeply to the ways my grandparents lived.

Values were more important than religion. Waste was a sin. Noblesse oblige was a rule and not an exception. Globalization has robbed my children of a rich heritage. When I tell them stories of my childhood they think they’re fairy tales. This generation lives in fear and isolation.

The planet as we knew it, no longer exists. What little remains, will be no more in 20 years.
