toxic

Our habits have become addictions to technologically contrived conveniences that are devastating all life. We absorb thousands of synthetic chemicals during a lifetime and yet we look around us puzzled that so many illnesses and diseases have become epidemics.

We deny because we have become addicted to the conveniences of modern life.
We deny because we ignore the lessons of history.
We deny because we choose to believe that we are too wise to be so foolish.
We deny because we are arrogant.
We deny that we are in denial.

And our deaths will be neither quick nor easy nor proud.
