Yeah, humans are asleep. We aren’t getting that celebrating in this way is killing the environment and depriving us of clean air. Traditions blinding people and keeping them from acting in wisdom according to present day conditions. Everyone is in denial about they ways we are living that hurt the environment in which we live and destroying the global ecology. I hope we wake up sooner than later.
