Nothing is more haunting than a person’s greed.

“You claimed superiority because of the homes you built and the territories you reclaimed as your own and renamed and carved heads of your presidents into the sides of mountains, just to prove that even nature agreed. (Nature did not agree.) Humans, the ultimate imperialists, rageful as you plunder all that you can seize, and anyone or anything that tries to resist is contained in a fortress that is kept under lock and secret key while you send in your tanks and tear up their land and use other ways to concentrate their mind on what you are trying to convince them about, so they believe in your superiority, because if they don’t, you will use the camps again as all empires have before you. And still, you call your subjects the barbarians, savages, or the unevolved.

But fortresses can crumble; it was arrogant of you to believe your concrete would hold for an eternity. All that is made can be unmade, all that is created eventually deteriorates and crumbles, setting free all manner of wrath and vengeance. You’ve seen what happens with every successive empire. Mother Earth will never be subjugated.”
