People...

Luke and I bought Avatar on Blu-Ray in 3D last night. That movie is amazing in and of itself, but in 3D... holy crap. It looks so awesome.

It has a wonderful message to it, too. Well, sort of. Maybe not so much of a message as it poses as what should be a wake-up call to people. What I have noticed about people around the world (and I am talking about various people, not ALL people) is that they ruin EVERYTHING.

Our environment has changed drastically over the centuries. I know we have to prosper as a species and whatever else, and I have no problem with that. BUT I hate the fact that there are people (especially people associated with big companies that thrive on ruining the environment to get whatever they need out of it) that have a blatant disregard for the environment.

Like the natives in Avatar, there are species, and even people from certain native cultures, on this planet that are suffering due to people ruining their habitat and their environment for their own benefit. It honestly makes me sick because we truly have no idea how precious those environments are to those species.

Nature is a beautiful thing and people forget to actually look at the worth of the environment instead of the profit they can make from destroying it. I am glad the government and other agencies and companies have come to realize the importance of preserving some of nature's most precious things. I just wish others around the world would come to this realization also, such as in the Amazon Rain Forest. It breaks my heart to think of how many millions of acres have been deforested for wood and residential areas. Soon, there will be no rain forest left, and the world will be an even emptier place because of it.

It truly is sad. I try not to think about it too much because it affects me so much, but I just hope more people around the world finally discover what they are destroying and try to start preserving it instead.
