"Its not worth thinking about them, Noria. They didn't think about us, either." 

- Memory of Water 

This quote caught my attention the second I read it. The main character of the book, Noria, was wondering more about humans before the severe climate change. Her best friend, Sanja, tells her not to because we never though of them. This quote reminded me that all of the decisions we make today, affect the people of tomorrow. The consequences of climate change we face in the present are caused by all of the world's decisions leading up to today. I believe our purpose for living is to contribute to society in a way that will create a better future for later generations. The quote made me reflect on all of our decisions and come to the conclusion that we might not be serving our purpose. We have neglected our purpose and replaced it with money. I only hope we don't get to a day when we can feel the climate change severely and won't be able to do anything about it.
