[CE] Texas Wildfires

I found this really interesting quote that made things start bubbling in my mind while reading about the wildfire outbreaks in Texas.
"The overriding question is: Will they have homes to return to?"
So as i read this article about the wildfire spreads near the Austin area, i started to worry for all the people and things that are in danger  because of this horrible outbreak. There are also the animal and plant lives that are in danger and that are being destroyed by this catastrophe. They have families too and have as many rights as humans to stay alive. The plants that are being consumed are what keeps the Earth alive and feeds the animals and humans living on Earth. Now that the flames have overwhelmed these things the population of their species are being reduced and makes their kind move closer and closer to extinction.The smokes from these flames are doing no good for the Earth either. It is tainting the already tainted air surround us all which is ruining the Earth’s atmosphere.

Okay well that was kind of off but this quote makes me start thinking about how i treat the people and things i have. Now that i think about it, i feel like i take all the things i have for granted. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that takes things for granted but still. Everyone takes things for granted because they are so used to it that they don’t seem to care although they probably do care but just doesn’t express it. People would throw away food like it doesn’t matter and wouldn’t bother thinking twice about the millions of people starving all over the world. People would also ignore their parents’ teachings when one day they might not have their families anymore. The victims in the wildfire might have lost their homes or things that has sentimental value to them. They might not have a home to return to when everyone else does whatever they can to stay out of their home. We should all learn to appreciate our friends and family more because the people whose loved ones have passed probably couldn’t say their final good byes. We never know when we are going to lose someone important because it could happen within seconds.
So to me this quote gives the idea that things shouldn’t be taken for granted because it could be gone whenever.
Good Luck TEXAS! =]
