Is 'originality' a sustainability issue ?

Today I want to leave you with a little song that made me think a lot about the current state of affairs and humanity (at least the western world) 
He's one of my favourite French artists and this is more of a poem than a sog
In bold the parts that hit me the most (in French and then terrible English translation) 

Original video here: Youtube link
​J'ai un iPhone, 7
Je passe beaucoup trop de temps dessus
J'ai peur du noir
Je trouve Emily Ratajkowski vraiment très belle
J'adore les films de Jacques Audiard
Je trouve que j'en fais pas assez pour le climat
Je dis climat pour dire pollution
J'oublie souvent que si encore on polluait pour une mission
Comme partir à l'aventure de l'univers mais même pas
On pollue juste pour être plus nombreux et vivre plus vieux
Alors qu'on trouve que vieux c'est nul
Et que nombreux c'est dangereux
On reste tous là, les bras ballants devant ce monde qui brûle
Et on se moque de ceux qui voudraient le sauver

En triant leurs déchets
Je sais que je vais mourir
Mais je continue souvent à agir
Comme si j'allais être éternel
Je sais que je vais mourir et pourtant
Je peux passer ma matinée
À essayer de régler un problème
Qui n'en vaut pas la peine
Je suis pas très original

J'adore savoir, comme pour savoir il faut apprendre
Alors j'apprends
C'est pas un grand plaisir pour moi
C'est comme courir, c'est long
Fastidieux, fatigant
Seulement j'ai l'impression de gagner du temps de vie
En courant régulièrement
J'ai des préjugés
Bien sûr que j'ai des préjugés
Tout le monde a des préjugés
Par exemple j'ai des préjugés sur les gens
Qui me disent qu'ils ont pas de préjugés
J'aimerais bien que mes enfants soient épanouis
Alors j'essaie de leur ouvrir des tas de portes sur la vie
En espérant que derrière l'une d'elles il y ait une passion
J'essaie même de me faire à l'idée qu'ils aient pas de passion
J'ai peur des conflits, j'aime pas qu'on me bouscule
Qu'on m'oblige, qu'on m'agresse
Je crois que c'est l'ennui qui a fait ce que je suis
Et pourtant je le fuis comme la peste
Je me fais trop de soucis
Je vis dans une bulle qui voltige sans cesse

Je suis pas très original



English translation (sorry if it's not perfect) 

I have an iPhone, 7
I spend way too much time on it
I'm afraid of the dark
I find Emily Ratajkowski really very beautiful
I love Jacques Audiard's films
I find that I am not doing enough for the climate
I say climate to mean pollution
I often forget that if we polluted again for a mission
Like going on an adventure in the universe but not even
We pollute just to be more numerous and live longer
While we find that old is bad
And that many are dangerous
We all stay there, arms dangling in front of this burning world
And we make fun of those who would like to save him
By sorting their waste

I know i will die
But I often keep on acting
Like I'm gonna be forever
I know I'm going to die and yet
I can spend my morning
Trying to fix a problem
Who is not worth it
I am not very original

I love to know, like knowing you have to learn
So i learn
It's not a great pleasure for me
It's like running, it's long
Tiresome, tiring
Only I have the impression of saving time for my life
Running regularly
I have prejudices
Of course I have prejudices
Everyone has prejudices
For example, I have prejudices about people
Who tell me that they have no prejudices
I would like my children to be fulfilled
So I try to open lots of doors to life for them
Hoping that behind one of them there is a passion
I even try to get used to the idea that they have no passion
I'm afraid of conflicts, I don't like being pushed around
That I am forced, that I am attacked
I believe it was boredom that made me who I am
And yet I run away from it like the plague
I worry too much
I live in a bubble that flutters constantly

I am not very original

So beautifully written and so very relatable! Its so tiring to know what we know about the planet and how we hurt it and I personally go through phases when I'm super proactive and wanting to change the world to being apathetic because the worrying gets to be too much.
