The inevitable. Urban Dictionary

The root of all contemporary mental, physical, and spiritual diseases. Extinction Illness, the essential cellular knowledge and terror that one’s life, one’s people’s lives, all life is threatened, that lineage is disappearing, that we, all, may well become extinct within a very short period of time, that the future will be eradicated. Our bodies, minds, souls are reeling with the terrible reality of what we have done, are doing, consciously and unconsciously. Extinction is our fault. The unconscious knows. The soul knows. The connected life system knows even if the individual isn’t consciously aware. He/she/they were born into the network of all life and Life knows too. As Ubuntu teaches, “I am because you are,” which now we must rephrase: I will not be because you will not be. I will not be if you will not be. Extinction Illness. A world condition and a world affliction. Perhaps this systemic affliction is at the root of all our current global plagues, diseases, and illnesses. Urban Dictionary

What we're causing. Urban Dictionary

A bunch of incompetent middle-class, privately educated pieces of shites that think they have some say in how the rest of the world thinks. If see, laugh and walk away. Urban Dictionary
