Summary edit

Description
English: I just can't get it in my head that there is often such a tragic discrepancy between what our planet looks like from above, and what is actually happening on so many places the ground. How would we explain all this to an interplanetary visitor?

Ich kann mich einfach nicht daran gewöhnen, dass es einen solch tragischen Unterschied zwischen dem gibt, wie unser Planet von außen aussieht, und was tatsächlich an vielen Orten am Boden passiert. Und wie würden wir all dies einem interplanetaren Besucher erklären?
