Do you remember going out side and seeing the stars, not just a few, but seeing the Milky Way and being able to see outside without the lights on.
Lights from the brightness of the sky.
Now a days you see a few stars and a couple of planets and we are all happy and content.
While others are lucky if they can see the moon.
We are now missing up animals, birds, insects and who knows what else.
For this insane aggression to rush towards some unknown prize. So we can have it now. All NOW, NOW, NOW!
Remember Patience
Hummmm
