This video brought tears to my eyes… I seem to be becoming more and more sensitive to what it is that humans are doing to the earth – plants/animals, ecosystems/habitat, etc. This is what makes me feel like I need to be the change I want to see in the world!! It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to live on without constantly thinking about what I can do to help increase awareness and and influence change in peoples hearts. I keep thinking about what my dad said to me the other day when I was talking to him about sustainability. I mentioned how we as Americans have been conditioned to have our sole purpose be consumers which is what drives our economy and my dad said he likes being a consumer. I tried to explain that it isn’t a sustainable way to live but I don’t think he understands at all. It just goes to show that there are so many other people out there in the world with very backwards ways of thinking about reality – but I can’t even completely blame most of them because they are all still asleep and really don’t know what they are doing. I constantly question everything I do every day in relationship to living more in harmony with the earths ecosystems and I am constantly frustrated and challenged with the current models of society that seem to be such a force against living in harmony. I know that more and more people are waking up every day, yet when I think about how much damage we’ve already done, and how deeply conditioned so many people are, it seems very daunting to think that somehow there will be a big enough change in a short enough amount of time to get everyone on board with this!
