A few years ago i realized something... i came to the realization that we are insignificant people. the amount of time we spend on this earth is extremely little.  yet our impact on the world is so vast. think about this for a moment, at the rate we are going the earth  will be consumed of all it's resources in no time. is this a good thing? for humanity?
now, we have to step back and realize what is driving this.

my realization was-- people are greedy. greed leads people to do things they would usually not. when a person is consumed by greed, they are not that person.
is this a good thing?
you must fight greed. 
greed will destroy you, your family, and you will have only "superficial friends"

whenever you are eating a tasty burger, just think about that little kid that is watching you in the mall so keenly cause he didn't have any food to eat.
just think. although "our" lives are so tiny, you can make a diffrence.
you will feel it, when the time comes

peace.
