The earth takes and gives. We are all just inhabitants that either benefit or perish from it. The earth does not care about our sentiment nor needs. And the cycle continues with or without us.

It's more fun to learn something when you're not forced to.

Fun Fact: Volcanoes have a major impact on climate. For example, the massive eruption of Mt. Pinatubo (Phillipines) in the 90s was attributed to a GLOBAL temperature drop of about a full degree in the following years. The millions of tons of ash in the atmosphere blocked solar rays.
