If you want to be a real human being — a real woman, a real man — you cannot tolerate things which put you to indignation, to outrage. You must stand up. I always say to people, "Look around; look at what makes you unhappy, what makes you furious, and then engage yourself in some action."
The worst possible outlook is indifference that says, "I can’t do anything about it; I’ll just get by." Behaving like that deprives you of one of the essentials of being human: the capacity and the freedom to feel outraged.
~ Stéphane Hessel
"A butterfly is more free than a bee; but you honor the bee more just because it is subject to certain laws which fit it for orderly function in bee society. And throughout the world, of the two abstract things, liberty and restraint, restraint is always the more honorable." ~ John Ruskin The Two Paths 1858

Scheme
We need economic growth.
Oceans need more trash.
Poison the aquifers,
Devastate the soil,
People need jobs!
clean air
safe and sufficient water
safe and adequate food
safe and peaceful settlements
stable global environment
Economic growth is all we need.
Oceans need more trash.
Poison the aquifers,
Devastate the soil,
People need jobs!

Perfection
"You know you have reached perfection of design not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away."
~ Antoine de Saint Exupéry
