“Man”
Wow! Speechless. Lost for words but full of emotions.
Guilt?
Concern?
Stillness!
So short, so deep!
Thousands of years, spot on.
Questions and no answers.
Why?
First I smiled, then my smile froze.
I felt awkward.
Embarrassed.
Thoughts?
Yes, many!
Our relationship with nature is off.
We are abusers.
Guilty as charged?
Too late for us?
Perhaps.
Can a few make a difference?
I try. Still guilty!
Did you watch it?
Man!
Wow! And at the same time, how dare we?!
That’s a powerful statement, and leaves viewers with a lot to think about.
I made me think and it left me feeling guilty.
I’m hanging my head too.
Anne has said it – brilliant
Yes, she did
A wonderfully presented view of the self-centredness of human beings.
Three minutes to sum up how we are and it’s spot on.
This was hard to watch, even in cartoon form. Altogether too true. It’s so easy to be proud of the areas where I feel I’ve done a lot, but harder to confront the areas where more is needed. Ouch!
I agree, it’s hard to watch but worth it. I need to do more too and I am not there yet.
Tragically true and brilliantly done! I applaud the creator for summarizing the destructive and greedy path of humans in less than four minutes. Makes me want to return to the desert and not come back. I pray open spaces remain protected.
I fear for this nation, for the world, for this planet. I have no idea if things have gotten worse, or if it’s just in my mind, but it feels like we are all sitting on a timebomb.
Man! That’s one proud King of the Dump Heap!
Proud…yes! Dumb…too.
If we don’t see the consequences of our actions immediately, we assume there aren’t any. After all, the world is a big place, so if I cannot see any damage then it must be ok. oops. I watch our farmland being devoured by tract housing. I see acres of cows lined up at troughs being fed a scientific formula that allows them to gain an unseemly amount of weight so they can be sold at a price to accommodate the corporations and not the farmers, and the run-off and the methane put into the atmosphere is so toxic it kills everything around it. But, I have no doubt that once the human race goes away, the planet will reform around the damage. We are the only species that will orchestrate our own extinction.
We have adapted nicely. We are putting our head in the sand, hope the storm will pass and we don’t have to watch. And when we are forced to look, then we still refuse to see.
Wow, just wow. How well humanity’s existence on Earth was catalogued here. Covid was not the virus. Humanity is. Covid was Earth’s immune response. Thanks for sharing. Allan
“Covid was not the virus. Humanity is.”
The statement of this century! Well put and sadly true.
Thought provoking. It reinforces what we ALL know but are too complacent or disinterested to do enough to reverse it. Shame on us all!
I found the ending interesting. I always joke that aliens, who are intelligent enough to find us, will also be intelligent enough to stay away!
Yes, very thought provoking. I as guilty as the next one…we all are.
Small changes, yes! Big changes…not so much!
Yes. Ask anyone, including me, what they are willing to give up and the answer is never enough!
Yes I just learned a lesson there myself. Sighhhh
