Fenced In

The grass is always greener on the other side. Many days I watch sheep, cows, and horses prove this theory to my eyes. The livestock is always trying to get through the holes in the fence, or positioning their muzzles under the fence, or over the fence to eat the grass on the other side instead of just enjoying the grass on their side. Of course, the livestock does not eat this, its right there, way too easy to get to. Often in life, humans act the same as livestock.

Humans are never satisfied with what they have. We always try to get the next best thing, the greener pasture. Highways made the pathway for humans to travel. However, as the years went on the next best thing was interstates. There were quicker ways to get somewhere, and towns that we could bypass on our travel. Trains were invented so humans could go places. But eventually that wasn’t enough, there had to be something faster. Planes were invented so it wouldn’t take the whole day to get to the next best pasture.

Many are concerned about saving the planet, many people say it is the human instinct to try and save. However, I believe it is the human instinct to destroy. We have destroyed towns, making them into ghost towns from inventing interstates and planes. No more do people ride trains and drive on highways that keep small towns in business. Along with trying to get to the greener pasture, we are in the process of destroying the landscape. The ghost towns destroyed the landscape and to create the next best thing, human has made more destruction.
