Eskimo


Everyone will usually move when the film is talking about human relationship. I just watched Chloe and Theo’s film. The Eskimo's Inuit has been reminded, given a message, to preserve, care for the village. Before this, the sun can reach to the land without boundary. But the big skyscraper, kept holding the sun from coming down. The sun become angry. The ice is melting, and slowly harm the village. Theo came down to bring the message.  ’To save his village’ and ‘the sun is angry’. But how about the earth? Our only home. Our relationship with the earth. 


Oh, we forgot. We are too busy to catch, to use whatever that can save our life. But the more we catch, the more we fall behind. We were born, each of us were born with carbon copy. 

We buy things that we don’t need. 


Environment is a school without wall. 

The earth are life giver and we have to protect it.

We forget the silent and the simplicity. 


In between that, I remember watching a video about The Minimalist from Mr Millburn and Mr Nicodemus. We were wasting. Still in the midst of understanding too many clothes, too many shoes. The debt to buy things. After all, the things is like owning you. When I say, I want to go to concert, to orchestra, to travel, buy expensive books or even my cats’ vitamin, they said what for? For them, its like wasting my money.  For me, it’s all about value. Buy the things that has value on you. I don’t know if big house, fancy cars has value on you. Might have, I guess. Maybe. Everything we do, we want, it will be an effect.  I read about the film’s review. Thin plot but great message.  And I was moved. I was touch when Theo went away. And this is also causes by things, stuff, material by what we own, we buy.

His message, “ We are too late. Your leaders don't have the power to change anything. Your television sets have the real power. They compel you to buy things that you do not need, and envy things that are worthless. They tell you to drive cars that cannot even move because everyone else is driving one, in cities where there is no clean air. They mock the way you look and affect your happiness. What can your leaders do about your happiness, when it is so corrupted that when you live each day it is based on consuming, devouring and wasting. Never happy until nothing is left." 


But far too often, the inhabitants are taking, and not giving back.
