Claiming the unclaimable.

 The passing of another year is, in essence, nothing more than the Earth completing another orbit around the Sun. Yet it is humans alone who imbue this natural cycle with decoration—transforming it into structure, pattern, and celebration with unwavering fixation. Why? Because they identify their existence as inseparable from the planet’s function, incapable of conceiving of the Earth devoid of their own presence. They attempt to claim the unclaimable. But the reality persists: even in the absence of this species, the Earth would continue its ceaseless motion—spinning and revolving as it always has.
