Because We, Humans, do not care.
Today, October 19, 2014 I witnessed the heartless act of a human being.
"I live on a busy street 'Greenbrae Dr.' which normally has a lot of cars passing by whether it's during the day or night.
I was outside in front yard watering my plants and I went to go turn off the hose. When I turned around I was glimpsing at my front yard with pride because well, I am proud of my yard and all of it's hard work that I put into it.
I have two dogs that love when I go outside because they know that I will spend 15 minutes petting each of them and talk to them in an angel-like voice and compliment them saying how wonderful and good dogs they are.
While I was petting my dog Gypsi, I turned to my left to look at the street and I happened to witness a Black Audi a6 possibly a 2005, Litter. It was a man(Couldn't tell what his Race was)that literally put down his window and Littered. It all happened so fast but he threw trash on the street! On My Street in front of My House!" -My Field Notes
It infuriates me to see the ignorance of some people and know that they don't have the knowledge or education to know that Littering is wrong! Littering spoils the attractiveness of roadways (such as Los Angeles) as well as urban an rural landscapes causing serious health and safety issues that will potentially impact humans, wildlife, and the environment.
It's very unfortunate for me to have to witness this almost everyday and fear that it won't ever stop or change. But, I'm not the only one who thinks it's unfortunate and has fear. The Earth does too.
Nature is afraid of Us as well, because We sometimes forget to water our plants and think that it's ok for Us to cut down trees for "Lumber" and to "Expand our Cities".
It's these cold-hearted acts that We do not "intentionally" do, but do them anyway and think that it doesn't harm some body or some thing.
I know that the Earth and Nature don't have Voices, but imagine if they did.? What would they tell us?
I'm not so sure why Insects fear Us though. Like Flies. Do they fear Us because We think they're annoying and because, when they get into our houses We always try to kill them? I guess I'll never find out until there's a book on "Why Insects Fear Us" and I read it,
but today a curious fly landed on my hand while I was singing. It wasn't afraid of me when I made strong hand movements and when I flicked it so it can go away, it flew back to me.
No I did not have any food around me to say that it was attracted to my food but it was just attracted to me for some reason when I sang. The fly would come to me when I started singing but then flew away when I stopped. Why though?
Can flies hear the vibrations that We Humans create when we make noise?

What if I didn't Hope that the fly will come back ? Would the Fly's fear overcome the Fly's Instinct and flown away far from me?
I Hope that one day, We Humans come to our senses someday and stop with the Careless acts that We CAUSE today..
One day I was driving behind a car and the guy driving threw out a lit cigarette. I wanted to call the police or do something. I love the idea of the earth talking to us. It's a bit scary because I don't think she'd be too happy.
ReplyDeleteThe fly coming to you when you sang was really interesting. Maybe your voice was soothing to it or something. I agree with you about humans trashing the world that they live in. They have no appreciation of what it gives us.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, I agree that sometimes hope causes much of the unthinkable to happen. I think that it part of it is that we hope a lot to a point that somehow it creates this type of energy that makes events come true for us.
ReplyDeleteThey way you think is very insightful. The way you describe the earth being angry and scared of us really makes me think about our actions. I see people litter and it enrages me. I mean this is our home and we just trash it. The fact that the fly came back to you is also very interesting. I think you should do more research on that. I also think that you shouldn't break the paragraphs. I like them most of them together. I really like your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheyenne. :)
DeleteBut I break my paragraphs because it's my style of writing and it's how I express myself in my writing.
The part where your voice lured the fly to you was like something from a Disney movie (sorry Farias). That's pretty top details and gives a kind of mystical vibe off.
ReplyDeleteAs I read your blog not only am intrigued by your background, but your title "Hopeful" it's such a powerful word, well for me it is. However, in your blog your voice in your observation spoke out too me and i really enjoyed sharing a connection as too how you express yourself in your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
