Earth is oddly the only planet with life and water. It is the only planet that is known to have “intelligent” life. But we are not the world. We do not make it spin on its axis. We do not power the weather. In a sense we do because of the impact we have created. But when we are gone, the world will not remember, it cannot, and it will not.
We have blinded ourselves to the fact that our existence is as pointless as the universe is gigantic. We may be the result of a reaction between particles, the creation of a God, but I refuse to stand by the fact that we are what make the world turn. We fight wars and kill each other to claim some sort of progress, physical or psychological, it does not do any good, then again, all considered, what does? Seeing as it will rot away along with the rest of our existence will over a geologically short period of time.
We are not the world. We are a specific type of mammal that thrives on self destruction. The Earth does not need us. It never did. When we’re gone it will be, finally, silent once more. When we’re gone it cannot and will not care. It and the universe will go on existing eternally. Regardless of how much we want to be omnipotent, and powerful. We are not the world.
