There's also a melancholic sense of foreboding about it for me. Like the photo is from the future we knew one day would come to pass if we stuck with the easy option and carried on doing nothing. Allowing the decayed fruits of our pathological refusal to take hold of destiny's reigns to play itself out uncontested. Because people think if you don't try, then you can't fail. And if you can't fail, then you'll never have cause to know the fear of being blamed for making things worse because there was no one else present willing to risk anything.
But yeah, the photo was like a shot of melancholic deja vu in me veins, because I seel and feel the same lack of regard, that same degree of faux indifference towards the collective fate of our species, stronger than ever before. And I say 'faux' because we know what we're doing. There's only so long the urgency of warning sirens can be dismissed or ignored for, because eventually their unrelenting insistence that you act right now starts overwhelming all of the other sounds you were able to hear clearly. Even the mind's own voice.
So I'm concerned about the impact on our collective mental health going into the future especially if we continue to maintain a position of disinterest regarding the direction of our species' fate and its ultimate destination, a place which at this moment is no doubt plastered all over with red flags that are waving themselves to try and warn us to act now because this is really happening.
