These big brains and opposable thumbs have taken us as a species to places no one could have ever imagined. We've plumbed the depths of the ocean, walked on the moon, created so much poison that we've scattered across our planet that we're choking on plastic and have diseases, COVID-19 coming to mind, that can kill untold numbers of us.
Maybe we can and will, someday, be successful in addressing and reversing the damage we've done to ourselves and our home planet using the technology our ingenuity continues to invent to save ourselves.
Leaving me to hope that as we mature as a species we get more judicious in how we choose to use our time, talents, and treasure. Because in my mind, just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.
