*Disclaimer: Not my usual content. I never post controversial things.I waited until I was calm and sound of mind before posting this. Yes, I made it in bitterness, which is already out of character for me. Usually, I write a vague poem to express my emotions, but I wanted to say something about this. So, I told myself if I still felt like I needed to get this off my chest come evening, then I'd post it.Some of you might have a difference of opinion, and that's fine. I'm just using my very small platform and small voice to express some triggering matters for not just myself, but thousands of people in the U.S. right now.*

The Mariana Trench: Earth's Deepest. AI-Generated.
The ocean, a vast and deep place, even human understanding of the ocean is less than what we have discovered on the moon, and the number of people who have set foot in the deepest place on earth is also fewer than the number of people who set foot on the moon. Back in the 19th century, people did not know much about the ocean, what people imagined about the deep sea were fantasy stories like monsters, shipwrecks, and a completely different civilization existing alongside humans. It is believed that living creatures cannot survive in the deep ocean because people at that time were not really advanced in science and technology, and did not have modern equipment to support deep diving and exploration.
