Tentative Conclusions

The human experiment failed. There's no way around it. Wishful thinking won't change the evidence. We destroyed the planet we call home. I call this failure. But the species may survive. We may colonize Mars. In the meantime, we failures left here don't have much to do. Though our experiment failed, there were wonderful moments along the way. I plan to celebrate them. Quietly, privately. Of course, most will carry on as if nothing has happened. What, me worry? I can't say I blame them but for me, personally, this feels dishonest. I'll keep out of your way, in the shadows, like the fool who keeps pining for the girl who got away.
