I grapple with this every day. It is painful to look around and see that no one is paying attention or cares. There is all this talk of being Woke nowadays but I believe these people are only woke in the one particular way - around race, sex, etc. To be truly Woke you need to be cognizant of how everything you do impacts the world around you. People go to great lengths to understand racial injustice but won't spend even a minute talking about the ecological issues. Crazy thing is that no matter your race, sexual orientation, pronoun, or whatever else basically have nothing in comparison to climate change and ecological collapse. These things affect all, not just some groups. I don't mean to diminish racial justice, but this is so much bigger than that. I'm scared.

The ship has hit the iceberg a while ago and we trifle about the variance of the dance we should all perform.

Isn't it?

I'm scared too.
