Don't know where to put the blame, for our overconsumption. Are we loosing the real meaning of life? I mean look around you, in every house there are more than one TV, several set of computers, in a lot of countries not just west families have more than one cars. Still we have not time to do real things as our parents did, like going out for fishing or a picnic. We do travel all around the world without exploring the world.
The earth has been overpopulated for long, but our problem today is that not that we are too many, we are too many rich enough to buy and consume more than we need. We need to change our life style for two reasons.
First global warming, and the second one is the fact that despite of growing wealth in the world, there are still those living with an income less than one $US a day.
Internet have changed our way of thinking and living, one of the best things with Internet is that we know what's going on other side of the world exactly as it happens. We can not deny the realities or be put in the dark any more. We know the truth for long now.
Seems to be right to get focused on important things in life, like going out for fishing. But before that we should leave the state of awareness behind and go into state of action. we need to take care of nature and care for it, in order to have any fish left there.
We need to take care of those less fortunate to leave happy and content with ourselves. For that we need to reduce our consumption, I hope this global finance crises push us toward a healthier life style soon.
