Words

We find it inconceivable to live without words and find it hard to believe that other lifeforms on this planet also use words. We were so anthropocentric we could not see that the writing was on the wall, and once it was on the wall, we carried on, as if the wall was going to be destroyed; why worry about stopping the damage now? Words used money as an obfuscation to the damage we were causing. We obliterated the planet, and the words allowed us to do so. If we had stopped and saved the earth, the power of the word would have been meaningless. Meaningless power is worth nothing.
