Vida Enigmática

I’m going to do this in point form because we are doing so many things wrong it isn’t funny. I think we can teach third world countries what not to do:

• When someone is born, we say ‘congratulations’. For what? Contributing to overpopulation? For having ‘successful’ sex? For doing what every single one of our ancestors has done for the last few million years?
  How about congratulating people for not having kids? For breaking our genetic programming? Eh?
• We give frequent flyer points to people for travelling more. We then reward those people producing more carbon emissions.
• We cut down forests and then build coal mines in their place. We then send the protesters to jail.
• We drive to work and then visit a gymnasium afterwards to exercise. Inside the gymnasium, we use machines that, instead of using the energy derived from our own motion, plug into electric sockets instead (powered by yet more coal).
• We make houses with TRIANGULAR roof shapes and then put SQUARE solar panels on top of them.
• We only vote once every four years, so unfortunately we contribute tax payments to governments schemes and government-approved projects that we haven’t even voted for.
• We are trying to be more ‘sustainable’ society, but unfortunately many Australians secretly think that Australian indigenous Aborigines are ‘lazy’ when they are really experts in ‘sustainability’.
• We encourage our younger generation to be hooked on consumerism by giving them mini trollies in hardware stores, supermarkets and shopping centres.
• We put profit above all else, including the environment and our own health and sense of wellbeing.
• We try to make second-world countries more like us when we should really learn to be more like them (because they are way more sustainable than us)
