Hello together
Okay guys... It's like that: There are some groups on earth who say that 2012 will be the end of our world! Well honestly I do strongly disagree with that opinion, but they do have a point actually. I mean our world definitely seems terrible these days:
-People die because of a tsunami and the whole world is threaten by a nuclear catastrophe.
-Other parts of our world are threaten by earthquakes.
-Hunger eats up east-african hope.
-And over 80 people died in Norway because of one madman.
I see why people start believing that the end is near. But to me, it's not the world that will end our lifes. It's our stupid pursuit of more and more and more. I think we all should start thinking about what we do and what we want and how it affects others. I don't judge people who want to have a better life and who work hard for their goals but some times we should really think about the price we or others pay for all our luxury goods...
I think nobody needs two cars. You can only drive one car so why do you want a second one? Or a second house? Or a flat screen in every room of your house... Watching televison while you're on the toilet?! And how can we talk to each other while the television is following us in every room...
Well, honestly, I am a person who always wants more and more and more. So I work hard and try to do things properly to be successful in life. Consequently I as well am no perfect person but there's a part of me who wants to be caring and fair makes me think about the costs of my success. The price others pay. People I don't even know.
So this part makes me say: No! to a better cell phone because as long as my old one is still running there's no need to get a better one. No! to a large shopping-excess when my closet is too full to close it properly. No! to the car when the sun is shining and by bike it's only 10 minutes.
I know these are just little things but it's a start. And we can't success if don't even start, do we?
