We ruined our planet out of greed. In a sense, to do something on this planet so late that I the most important seem to be the simplest things, such as conversation, or a walk with someone, or manner of a particular cloud to pass by.

In the meantime, the TV resembles a huge river where all and Sundry, drain their garbage.
