It seems that in every country, forests are disappearing by cutting down all the trees. And when I look at the houses made of wood and see them deteriorating into abandoned houses without people living in them, I feel vain. I think this all stems from human greed.(나무들을 모조리 베어 숲이 사라지는 모습은 어느나라나 있다고 봅니다.그리고 나무로 만들어진 집들을 보면서 사람이 살지않으면 폐가로 전락하는 모습을 보니 허망할뿐입니다. 이게 다 인간의 탐욕에서 비롯됐다고 생각합니다. )

Yes, very true. I see it as a metaphor for our societies.

@@TheUnknownCountry If you think about it, human greed has no end. In this video, there is a place where the railroad track that trains run on seems to have disappeared. In the area where I live, construction companies and civic groups removed the railroad track and turned it into a park, saying that if the railroad line disappears, the value of houses for nearby residents will increase. However, it wasn't long before the local government decided to redevelop it. I saw them being kicked out with low compensation. This shows that the latent human greed will inevitably return as a boomerang one day.(생각해보면 인간의 탐욕은 끝이 없습니다. 이 동영상 중에 기차가 다니는 철길이 사라진곳 같은데가 있는것 갔은데 제가 사는 지역중에 건설업자나 시민단체들이 철길이 사라지면 인근 주민들에게 주택의 가치가 오른다고 철길을 없애고 공원으로 만들었지만 얼마 않되서 지방정부가 재개발로 그들을 헐값 보상금으로 내쫓긴 모습을 보았습니다. 그만큼 잠재적인 인간의 탐욕은 언젠가는 반드시 부메랑으로 되돌아오게 되있다는 사실을 말입니다.)

⁠@@RedEnsign999 I see this resonated with you. That photo of the railway is actually not far from where I live. It is all beautiful forest and small farms now. But we have a lot of housing troubles here too. Houses are so expensive and they are building lots of “cheap apartments” that I wouldn’t want to live in, nor could I afford to. Not cheap at all. But the only ones that can afford it are rich people from Vancouver. Almost no houses brings a lot of homeless people with drug problems and these people begin to steal and rob places. Terrible situation. Also our local government made a lot of secret deals with China and China now owns a lot of property in my town. Our paper mill shut down after 100 years and companies and governments are now fighting over the property. Tough situations, and its hard to watch it all happen.

@@TheUnknownCountry A house must be a place where people can settle down and live stably! I think it becomes a problem as the property value of the house increases. There are many places on Jeju Island that have become ghost towns due to the Chinese people buying buildings and land. No matter how you look at it, I don't think it's true that people should own a house and increase their wealth.(집이라는것이 사람이 안정적으로 정착해서 살라고 만든집일텐데! 막상 집이 재산가치가 오를수록 문제라고 봅니다. 중국인들이 제주도에서 건물사고 땅사고해서 많이 올라서 유령도시가 되어버린곳들이 많습니다. 참 사람이 살아야할 집가지고 재산증식 이것은 아무리봐도 아니라고 생각합니다.)
