Sometimes we lose our track. We have the feeling of not knowing anymore where our path leads us. We find ourselves deeply concerned about the current problems, about each and single one of the badly told news in our favourite tv channel. We tend to consolidate ideals, opinions which we believe are the ultimate truth in the world. That everything would work better if it would be as we imagine in the back of our minds. We are wrong most of the times. We would not do a better job. Even though we spend so much time upon these considerations, that we normally forget what is important in life.
We are lost in the middle of a fight we didn't wish for. We don't educate our children anymore, we let them to be a part of the huge 'democratic' machine that someday, just like fossil fuels, will stop to work. Education is not anymore the responsibility of the parents and they even feel angry with the teacher when the child does't have good marks. This transfer of duties will have a great impact later on the child's life.
We don't take any extra second anymore to appreciate what surrounds us. We lost the ability of looking into a river and think about how beautiful it must be totally at the beginning, when it is only a small stream of transparent water. We have no idea which kind of fishes live in it, which birds depend on it. Nowdays a river is just an obstacle to build bridges connecting cities or a highway, so ships can enter the mainland.
Moreover, we forget the basic values of our Human race. Relationships are not based anymore on the respect, on the game of flirting for weeks till finally pleasure is reached, as a way of consolidation, solidification, not in a way of a test, an exam or simply a way of achievement to be shown to the others. The marriage has no longer the weight, the responsibility associated with it that once had. Sometimes it is more easy to divorce than to get married.
The possibilities of screwing up what is valuable in Human beings are so much! We spend so much time questioning, looking of evasions from our current lives, that we forget to appreciate every single moment we could. Few people keep going for a walk by a river or for a trip in the countryside. Those, for me, are moments of purity, moments in which you can really appreciate yourself, not being constantly mocked by so called 'news' that do not have nothing to do with you or your way of living. On those moments you find what is 'this' truly about.
Of course we should have an idea of what is happening in the world, in our country, in our city. I am not saying to be a complete ignorant, a hippie that still believes everything is beautiful and pink. I am saying that we lose so much time at our jobs, then in front of the contagious channels of information (or entertainment) and finally then performing hard mind work leading to ultimate truths for your eyes and completely non-sense for the other people, that we forget all those values that were already taught by our grand-grand-grand parents.
