right now I'm torn between to places, ngl
on one hand, humanity is spoiled. We treat every little thing and expect instant gratification, leading to us using methods that weaken us in many ways. We treat things like hot showers as necessary for human survival and we wash our hair every day with chemicals in the 3% of the world's available water that's drinkable. Most of us are fat, most of us are depressed, and many of us lack purpose, having invested our time into getting headshots in video games rather than being productive and sustaining ourselves. We don't even kill our own food anymore.
on the other hand, scientists and doctors work every day to make life better for everyone and I feel like rejecting their gifts is disrespectful. Hot water, medicine, and science are gifts and it comes through hard work and thousands of years of innovation. To reject it is to turn to them and say "I don't want your gift."
