"我们太自以为是了。每个人现在都要拯救些什么。“拯救树木,拯救蜜蜂,拯救鲸鱼,拯救蜗牛。”而最傲慢的是:拯救地球。拯救地球?我们甚至还不知道如何照顾好自己。我们要拯救他妈的地球?"

Simplified Meaning:

This quote highlights how people often feel extremely important and believe they need to save everything, like trees, bees, and even the entire planet. However, it points out that humans sometimes struggle to manage their own lives properly. For example, someone might campaign to save endangered species but might not even recycle their trash or take care of their own health. The quote emphasizes the idea that before we tackle huge projects like saving the planet, we should focus on improving our own daily habits and wellbeing. Just like you can't help a friend if you are not in a good state yourself, we need to learn how to take care of our own needs first. This suggestion urges people to start taking small, personal steps to improve their own situations and then gradually expand their efforts to larger causes. In this way, making positive changes in one's own life can lead to bigger changes in the world.
