by Dorothy W | Dec 27, 2020 | Imagine you attended your own funeral and gave your own eulogy. What would you say?
“Who the fuck decided I shouldn’t wear my pink silk dress? It’s literally the only thing I wanted about my funeral. Well, not the only thing, speaking of! Why is My Chemical Romance’s Fake Your Death not playing? I mean it’s a bit boring now that I’m speaking, but then again if someone caught this on video, it could go viral, so why not. Also, who brought a bouquet with lavender? And why! I hate lavender. Should’ve brought me roses. Actually, you know what would’ve been cool? A flower crown of poppies. If I were wearing that now, the petals would fall off slowly during this little impromptu speech. I feel like that would’ve added some effect. Never mind. Right, you. Why are you here? I’ve always hated you. You freak me out.
“Why aren’t my bjj team here? Don’t they know I’m dead? Oh, hi Jim, where the hell are the rest? No, I mean, I know why my classmates aren’t here, but why aren’t my bjj guys here? I let several of them choke me, I feel like we had a special something. Just me and then 20 guys I rolled around with a few times a week. By the way Jim, you should wear a suit more often.
“Free bar, huh? Was that my dad or Patrick’s decision? Where’s the cake though? I thought you wanted to honour my memory, so there should be cake. Is there at least pasta somewhere?
“Hey, what are you gonna do with my remains? Scatter me over the streets I used to walk? If you do that, please don’t burn me first. I’d like to cause just one more riot. You know what would be really cool to do with me? Me neither. Oh! You could burn me and then put me in a Coke can and keep it in your fridge. Come on, that would be funny.
“Anyway, enjoy your boozed up cakeless party. Cause that’s totally in my spirit. Seriously guys. Whatever, I’m gonna get naked, and go take a nap in an open casket. Wake me when mcr gets back together. Ffs.”

“Ego. It all boils down to the need for power by a relatively few people.Looking back over time, all human atrocities were committed by someone, usually male, wanting to assert his beliefs, opinions, phobias, etc. on others because only his were “TRUE.” Many were in the name of religion. Popes who were supposedly infallible, tortured, crucified, held “crusades”, against anyone they thought could threaten the status quo. Ethnic cleansing in the name of religions, supremacy, whatever. The quest for power and control are what is at play today {and always)in world politics, In the meantime, while power hungry morons are fighting to prove who is most important, and who has the most impressively sized biceps and genitals,some people are actually trying to address the only really important issue – CLIMATE CHANGE. Nothing else will matter if we don’t rescue the earth and reverse it’s almost inevitable demise. 99% of scientists and experts say, without a doubt, that THE PLANET IS DYING. People don’t seem to get it, we keep allowing money hungry corporations to devour resources, dump waste into the oceans, pump out filthy air, cut down forests to make more stuff. Don’t the executives of these companies have families? Don’t they stop to think that this affects them as well? All the money in the world won’t provide enough clean drinking water, food, clean air, etc., if we don’t stop the greed and willful ignorance that is causing this crisis. Our oceans and seas are no longer productive enough to sustain the need for its treasures. We dump plastics and contaniments into it, killing huge populations of sealife, and damaging ecosystems needed to sustain it, sometimes permanently,. Yet, we keep allowing this. There are vast areas off the west coast of the Pacific that have “dead zones” where there is no oxygen in the water. All the bottom feeders are smothering, This has been happening more and more frequently in the past few years,Scientists think the cause is because of climate change. The warming of the oceans and lack of movement of currents or upswells, possibly. Obviously, this is not a good thing. A few years ago, Something caused thousands of starfish to lose their legs, they just were falling off and dissolving. These kinds of things are no longer unusual, but few people are paying attention,A starfish leg here or there might not seem important, but as you go up the food chain and figure out what the lack of starfish does to whatever depends on it, and on up, well, you get it. Droughtsf and devastating forest fires are becoming routine, as are hotter, dryer summers in many areas. The tropical storms, which have always been around, are now much more likely to become hurricanes, and even they are escalating in force and frequency, We are paying trillions of dollars to CLEAN UP AND REPAIR THE DESTRUCTION. Which is unfortunate since it is also keeping people from working, creating hardships that could have been avoided if the government had started trying to avert these disasters. and hopefully, considerations of whether to rebuild in those areas will be weighed.
My point is fairly obvious, just because we all hate the answer, Climate Change is real, and unless we decide to address it now, nothing else matters. Do you want to see your children and grandchildren be subjected to starvation, insane temperatures, no water, disease, etc.? This isn’t drama, think about it. Pretending that it isn’t “caused by man” is irrelevant, If there’s a gnats chance in hell we can at least slow it down until maybe scientists can figure out a way to reverse it, shouldn’t we try? We were given this incredibly beautiful gift, and I don’t care what color skin you have, your spiritual beliefs,, your sexual orientation, or politics, this affects every sentient being on earth, but only humans have the power to stop it, Lose the ego and just start doing what is right, you already know what that is, get involved somehow. Whether it’s walking to the store, using less water, do something now, please.”
