A thought provoking speech by Thich Nhat Hanh, talking about how our generation has borrowed from our children and grandchildren - that this planet belongs to them. He mentions how we've damaged our earth and borrowed too much from the planet. He feels the people need to wait up as soon as possible and take responsibility - and it can't be done individually, it needs to be done as a group - a 'collective awakening'.
Hanh also mentions how we always want more (we're never satisfied, basically - not news to me). Even when we get our needs met (shelter, food, heat, clothing, transportation) we still feel it's not enough. That even people with butler's and/or fame 'suffer'.
We need something more than things...we need love and understanding. Peace. I love how he says we cannot get these things - the things we're hungry for - from a super market. Check it out and see what thought's you come up with.
