When the weight of the world feels overwhelming, remember this: Everything humans have ever done, every building, road, machine, and moment, makes up only a tiny fraction of this planet’s mass. We are small creatures, clinging to the surface of a vast, ancient, quietly turning sphere. The Earth itself is not in crisis. It simply is. Steady, silent, and endlessly patient. If human noise becomes too much, just place your hand on the ground. Feel the stillness. Let it remind you that you are connected to something far older, far larger, and far more enduring than any headline or heartbreak. The Earth will hold you.

But what about the animals that are going to die?

Or any number of innocent beings caught up in the worlds problems. I get you, but this is purely an immediate way to ground yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed. It's like the quiet giant under your feet all the time that you can connect with whenever you need to :)

Society has a lot of inertia.

I mean... It is normal. But that's one of the things that sucks about it.

And pay the overwhelmed fee, no thanks.
