Let the giants be and take a bite.

I was leaving a friend a note on a social networking site about a trip Doodle and I took to France a few years ago. We had a good time and all but that isn’t the point. We have advanced so far that an 11 year old child and a woefully out of shape middle aged then smoker went to the summit of a mountain which could have only been reached in previous centuries by the daring and very skilled. We truly on the shoulders of giants.

Vistas, concepts, ideology and so on are all taken for granted by the generation today. Technology is killing man and the beauty and wonder of the world. It is a boon to our well being don’t get me wrong but where is the wonder in the everyday now. Soon we will be able to take cable cars to the top of Mount Everest and then sue when the thing freezes and you can’t make it to the summit.

As a whole we don’t even understand the simplest technologies our society is on the brink of dying off because we don’t respect the work and responsibility that went before this generation and that ones before.

Simplify your life you may find that letting go of some of those things that are supposed to make your life better opens wonders right around you and knowledge that is everywhere ripe like the summer fruit.

Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.

Ciao,
