13. Gaia is our mother but she is less finite than we are

and for that I'm grateful. She will be here long after the bald apes have gone. So many try to appeal to the stupid bald apes (says the stupid bald ape typing on a computer) by showing the beauty of Gaia. It hasn't changed anything. Bald apes aren't big enough to care about other bald apes, much less Gaia. So we will be a distant bad memory one day soon. And Gaia will recover because she marks time in epochs, not years.

I'm grateful that she can't be murdered by such silly creatures as us but I am sad that she has to bear any of the marks from bearing us. We are ungrateful children.
