"Perhaps we have no future. That may be true.

On a long enough timeframe, we'll all be dead and the earth will be eaten by the sun - that much seems certain. Climate change may kill us off along with all the other species that are being destroyed. Yet that doesn't make it any less beautiful to take action in the present. It doesn't make anything less meaningful to.

The present is real, no matter what may happen in the future.

If we don't act in pursuit of the things that we consider meaningful in the present, that compounds the tragedy that is underway, it makes it a travesty. If we don't defend what we love, that suggests that we are not loosing anything anyway. If we impose that tragedy on ourselves renouncing our ability to dream, it is as if we deserve it.

But, if we act in a way that shows that the world could be different, that will give the tragedy that we're experiencing weight. Then there will have been something beautiful in the world when it comes to an end, if only our desire for something else. The fact of its having been will hang, something that cannot be erased from history. Even if our dreams cannot come true, we can honor them thus. "
