i dunno .... the environment ?
as a kid i remember being told about how bad our treatment of the environment was and how we need to be doing better to combat climate change... but also how not to worry we are doing it!
but then as i grew up i learned more and more how... no we really weren't doing it.
and how bad so many of our choices continue to be around it.
at least that's how i see it. as far as i know we still have people that refuse to believe in climate change. or in the weather patterns shifting or whatever else you want to call it. there's been enough mis-information to mislead people. i know that, because my family is part of those people.
something to know about me is that i try not to pretend or try not to think that i'm somehow better than other people, or that some people are worse than me or anything along those lines.
i tend not to think i'm better than my family as a result. so i tend to try to figure out why it is that they think in this different way than i do... i'm not successful. i think it's just because we are in different media bubbles. i happened to one time have friends that were more left leaning... and continued into those bubbles. the rest of my family didn't.
it's something. to know that we do see the world so so differently from each other. and still be related. and still see the same things. we just have different reasons for what it is that we are seeing.
one of us is just a temporarily embarressed billionare... one of us worries about what the future might hold. will we have much of a future?
will those that come after us?
we both care about things that will happen in the future. we just think of things differently. we have different concerns.
i'm gonna go and pick up some trash in my neighborhood. it's something they would do also. they taught me to care about the environment.
and i care, in many small ways. and i care in big ways as well.
thanks for reading~
