Saw this graffiti the other day in Villa and it has got me thinking futher……
“if you think your free then you haven’t flown higher enough”
I am a sceptic of the current system of things as curroption is rife in a world of neo libiral ideals, where private compaines and bankers are the one who are in control. People say to me look a the good side of things – How can i when so many of my brother and sisters suffer of accordance of my consumer lifestyle. I just don’t no anymore if i want to exsist in a system that makes the richer – richer and the poorer – poor. Thus the constant void of uncontenment occurs as we are all getting bombarded with imagery of the rich and how it is our mission in life to reach this goal. Well I do not think i want to be another cog in this system, I do not want to belong in this hamster cage with no fullfilment in life. So what if you can’t afford a new gadget or a new pair of desginer shoes it dosn’t make you any happier - its all a ploy to distract us from reality. The reality of our city life style is a illusion living in a box seems to be the furhterest thing away from nature as poosible. Life is what you make it - not if and when why not here and now, if you strive for the house, car, and holiday once a year then fine if that will make you happy but for me this would make me feel like a caged bird unable to fly. You are free – free to work earn and buy – do you no what i think i will pass.
Must watch video: Google Earth Tour: How a Global Dam Boom Worsens the Climate Crisis. You’ll hear (maybe for the first time?) the deep voice of the famous human rights activist Nnimmo Bassey. Bassey takes you on a visual walk around the world to discuss the problem of damming rivers - by the thousands. His focus is on how hydro-dams are taking water from millions of locals depending on natural river systems. You have to see it. There’s a link below for more information.
International Rivers and Friends of the Earth International have teamed up to create a Google Earth 3D tour and video narrated by Nigerian activist Nnimmo Bassey, winner of the prestigious Right Livelihood Award and chair of Friends of the Earth International. The production was launched on the first day of the COP 17 climate meeting in Durban, South Africa on November 28, 2011. The video and tour allow viewers to explore why dams are the wrong answer to climate change, by learning about topics such as reservoir emissions, dam safety, and adaptation while visiting real case studies in Africa, the Himalayas and the Amazon.
