HEAL THYSELF Humans can't heal Earth until they fix their species first. Until they correct their faults... Greed, Narcissism, Selfishness, Arrogance, Irresponsibility, Apathy & Aggression; Earth's biosphere & atmosphere will continue to deteriorate at their hand. 🦋LJC #art #humanity #Earth

BOTTOM LINE Charlie Kirk's POVs pissed off a mental health sick kid with access to a gun. End of story. Taking the story beyond the core of what happened is sabotaging the issues that need to be addressed making it impossible to solve them. Mental Health/Gun Violence 🦋LJC #art #mentalhealth #guns
