We are helpless in our self destructive abilities

We want to pretend like we can have it all. We can't. We can't keep on polluting the earth like there's no end to it. We can't do this to our bodies endlessly. There's consequences for our behaviors. I'm trying to call attention to outdated stories we tell about ourselves that hide the fact that we're helpless in our self destructive abilities. That's really where we're masking that above all.
