Yes I am old and I would rather look at a forest (a real forest) any day rather than try to live in some escapist virtual world. If somebody finds the real world so bad where they live they need to move someplace where they can see some real nature and real beauty. Human beings could not replace the beauty of the natural world with some virtual reality in a billion years if they tried.
In some 300 years nature (if allowed to do so) will replace all of that burned forest around Colorado Springs.
I have been to the Cliff Dwellings in Colorado several times, both before the terrible fires and after. I was pretty sad when I saw the burned forest. But the park rangers said that it would take 300 years for the forest to be regrown and that was just a moment in time for the forest. Human beings are just a moment in time for the forest also. Maybe I should say human beings and their silly gadgets are just a moment in time for the forest.
Excellent post....lol. I really cracked up at the last sentence. Very well put!
