Not to make this too grim, but I am embarrassed by the way in which we treat the environment.

We are literally setting our home on fire, and seeing as there is currently no way to get out, we are soon going to be trapped in a burning building.


You feel me?!

Not to mention everybody's too distracted to even take notice.

Oh! For the whole exam?
We think we own the world, we think that once the human species dies out of goes extinct that it'll be the end of the world, it's just too cringeworthy
It's embarrassing that we have used our intelligence to do the most unintelligent things imaginable.

It's embarrassing that we are the only species who have invented effective ways of not only destroying each other but wiping our the entire human race. Not only does the human race seem to take pride in this, but people seem to enjoy it.

It's embarrassing that we KNOW we are destroying our, and billions of other species', home and we KNOW exactly which things are doing it, but we continue to do them.

It's embarrassing that by recycling once in a while we think we're doing our bit to save the world, but we then go on to use electronics all day, and drive about in expensive cars releasing billions of tonnes of nastiness into the world, and use factory made products.

It's embarrassing that we have this idea that we are so much greater, so much more important than every other organism living on this planet. If the history of the world was condensed into a day, humans appear for 2 seconds then gone. 2 seconds. That's like a fly buzzing past you, that's how minor we are in the grand scheme of things; except we leave behind a colossal, destructive impact. So really it's like a fly buzzing past and dropping a bomb with a delay on it. By the time it explodes with full impact the fly is gone.

It's embarrassing that politicians place so much more focus on nuclear weapons and war than the environment, as if these things really matter if we don't have a planet thats livable anymore. As if destruction and death is more important to us than life.

It's embarrassing that the entire focus of the human race is money and power.

It's embarrassing that we complain about all this, yet don't do anything to fix it.

We are a complete and utter embarrassment, but most people are too caught up in themselves and the human race rather than the entirety of life on earth to realise what an embarrassment we are.

It's true, I used to think that the end of time, was the end of the world, when it's really just the end of us.

I feel like a bit of a lemon, when that happens to me.

A very dangerous combination. And as time goes on, we get smarter and more insane so we are getting more and more dangerous all the time, every day. It's terrifying, but changing the focus of the entire human race is not easy business.
You should read The Humans by Matt Haig - it gives a nonhuman perspective of humans; very insightful, plus funny at times.
...Hate how much we love ourselves and so special that we think there's some kind of deity which built a universe around us; and how we think we're so smart and amazing, completely separate from everything else that exists on our tiny planet.
