People think they are God, they think that they can make everything and when you really look: you see nothing. "The emperor's has no cloth-syndrome". But real looking depends on your realism. They live in a dreamworld: the new paint put over the old layer. Nothing changed but the outside looks nice from a distance. When you become closer, you see the bad conditions. It's ugly and fake...

But the nature with animals, trees, flowers and also people with skills is so differently. That's real and makes live much more beautiful. You can't copy that and it's here already. And of course stay off with those idiot ideas!

Appreciate your comment, Jorien!

That “they think they are God” energy is very noticeable. To me, it’s not just arrogance—it’s a symptom of a system that no longer applies pressure where it’s needed. In nature, if you betray the group, the pack, or the rhythm of life—there are consequences. The ecosystem kicks in and corrects. Integrity therefore isn’t optional; it’s enforced through risk, through cost. You stand for something, or you’re out.

But in our human matrix? You can lack spine, dodge truth and play games—and still get rewarded with comfort: a job, a family, social approval. No inner growth required. No evolution demanded.

That’s how you end up with layers of paint on rotting wood. It looks polished from a distance, but there’s no structure underneath to support real change. Meanwhile, the people who do carry something real—a fire, a question or a craft for example—tend to go unseen or even punished.

This is the deeper reason why the divide keeps growing. It’s not politics or money or technology—it’s a crisis of integrity. And without pressure, nothing changes.
