It's hard to believe that we live our lives within a 100 mile radius

It's hard to believe that the world is 25000 miles in circumference

It's even harder to believe that people are killing themselves because they can no longer bear their tiny lives

The world is ours

And yet, we stay in these 100 mile lifestyles as if we were bound to them

It's too bad; humans are creatures of habit
