wow i love this

One of the truest things I’ve ever heard is that people who say they’re “brutally honest” are more interested in the brutality than the honesty.

What really annoys me in all this discussion about the Amazon that has started recently is that a lot of people engaging in it - gringos and brazilians/other south-americans who don't live in the region - are acting as that forest is just a bunch of trees. It isn't just this, it's much more. There are people living in there, you understand? Indigenous people of various cultures, some of them not even contacted yet. The ribeirinhos, a typical population of the Amazon. Important towns such as Manaus are located in the Amazon, and thousands of people live in there. All of them are facing the consequences of these events right now. The Amazon means a lot to their lives and culture. And you must remember that the land of the forest is theirs by right before you enter this conversation.

me, experiencing the sudden anguish that comes with living: alright
