╚══╩═╩═╩═╩═╩╩╩╩═╝ To get across the point that the earth really is alive
If you were to interview a butterfly, standing on the branch of a sequoia tree
Now a butterfly lives only for a few days, and a sequoia tree can live for over a 1000 years
If you were to ask the butterfly, do you perceive the object on which you're standing as being alive
The butterfly would say "Of course not, I've been here all my life. Which is all 5 days, and the tree hasn't done a thing"
Well it's the same problem with the human being
If you were to ask a person, who perhaps has lived over a 100 years
If they perceive the earth, which is really 5 billion years old, as being alive
They'd say "Of course not, I've been here my whole life. And it hasn't done a thing"
