Title:
running for a perfect world. stop and reduce

Description:
We are running for a perfect world. We must stop, pay attention and reduce. Our life becomes more and more faster and we are looking for the prompt success. To stop for a moment and reduce our delightful daily plastic things by paying attention to the things we buy could be the first step. It is not easy to focus that. We got more and more separated from nature in running for a perfect world, running for self-optimizing and for an illusion: to get a stronger body and to have success. It is a struggle against the fleeting life. Plastic seems to help. It seems to be the synonymous for good to go and immortality. There is something that slipped deep in our unconscious mind. It gives us the illusion of controlling our life. Long-awaited promises appear to get real. Plastic gives us an immense feeling of power in the fleeting life, where death is present all the time: freedom of choice. The power to decide the time when we want to split with things. Plastic does not need any partnership. We only buy it, use it and throw it away. The children already learn it today. But fact is, that with the development of almost immortal plastic we have let the genie out of the bottle and we are paying for it with the slow killing of the wonderful sea, which means a killing along the food chain, the dying of the whole nature and we have forgotten, that we are a part of it. Nature is fleeting and we only have the opportunity of life to live with it in partnership.
