    The lack of empathy and true understanding of reverence is the issue.

    People do not respect the meat that befalls their plate, the bacteria that ferments their beers, the trees that warms their homes.

    Capitalism has two routes, horde through meekness or horde through exploitation. When you horde through meekness, any worth is solely yours - you submit and embrace this moment of life wholely separate from you. You cannot control the world.

    Humans are a virus, because we reach for the stars as we eviscerate our host. Lest we learn compassion and empathy, we will consume this earth. The flooding isn’t biblical this time, it’s predicted by science as man decays.
