Just one question to anyone who reads this. Am I the only one who sees this world as not beautiful with us on it? I think if every human was gone this world could be beautiful again…
Yeah, it is comforting to me 🙂 It seems really taboo to say that people shouldn’t breed as much or that they shouldn’t strive to get as old as possible.
I just checked it now and there’s an interesting (link to an) article about The Church Of Euthanasia. I guess a lot of people feel the way you do about people and the planet.
I think nature is pretty brutal and isn’t always beautiful. I believe humans both bring beauty and destroy it. I know there are many people who feel the same way as you though.
I think you’re right. I never thought about it, but I agree with you. But I also think that the earth would suck even more with empty streets, empty buildings and empty houses. In my opinion the world would be most beautiful without humans (but with animals I guess), but also without the things we built. Basically an eath where humans never existed.

I think it would have been better if the earth didn’t form at all. It’s brutal – animals and human animals alike.
Yeah. Sometimes I read the Facebook page of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. Those guys kind of cheer me up, hehe.
I remember reading about that several years ago….seemed appealing. Relaxing to read ain’t it?

I agree 100% with you, Trix.

Beauty is only possible if someone is around to percieve it.
This guy is a genius!
This is what I was thinking.
“When the world knows beauty as beauty, ugliness arises.” -Tao Te Ching
We humans are just as much a part of nature as anything in the universe- it is we who try to separate ourselves from it, instead of flowing with it.
but what would be beauty, if there is no one to see it?
