Once, our forests and rivers were sacred. Once, our ancestors
and the land were one. The land nurtured them, and they worshipped her. However,
deluded most of us now think our ancestors were, it's thanks to them that we
got to inherit the land that we're so eagerly pillaging.
We're now a long way from those days when Nature was
sacrosanct. They said our ancestors were wrong to sacralize the land. It was
idolatrous that our forefathers paid homage to Mother Nature, we're told even
now by deracinated, indoctrinated folks masquerading as religious leaders and
educators.
The land is to be exploited for the sole benefit of man,
especially for those in power. Scour the land for her gold, desecrate the
forests for their timber while destroying the lives and homes of other
creatures, human, animal and plant. That's the creed of our imported greedy
consumerist culture.
“Get rich or die trying” get rich by all means, no matter what,
no matter how much it costs Mother Nature.
This video, for example, is just a symptom of a cultural
malaise that goes deeper.
We've largely forgotten who we are. And in forgetting who we
are, nothing binds us together to the earth anymore except our collective
desire for more and more and more. “What can I get?” or “What can I take?” has
mostly become the standard questions we pose to life.
Great video. We need more of such to rouse us from our
greed-induced stupor.
