When I see things like this I am always amazed at how we manage to squander our potential.

When I see the best in people and then see the silly loops and squiggles we get ourselves into it is like playing Chopsticks on Mozart's piano. We know it could do so much more. I mean, we are free to play chopsticks and that is fine, but ultimately in focusing on the short term despite being aware of the long term, it eventually gets taken out of our control and the base ecosystem has its way with us. It is better to show restraint now rather than have it forced.
