Admiration

I have been reading today about Mark Boyle. Mark worked as a manager of two organic companies and tried to change the world, change people's mind to live better and keep it clean.

After got his inspiration from Ghandi few years ago, got tired and had enough with the way he lives his life, Mark decided to quit his way of living and live as he wants to live, how he sees the people in the world should live.

He bought a solar panel, got a free caravan from a website where people gives their unwanted stuff for free and start leaving his life. Mark lives in a farm for their support of place to park his caravan and use a WiFi internet connection. He grow his own food, sometimes goes and fetch food in the garbage and pick berries in the forest.

During the last 16 months mark didn't spent 1 cent on anything. His ideology is that the whole consumption culture is just wrong. People throw away food without thinking about their actions and their meaning. "If they would grow their food they wouldn't be throwing 1/3 of it daily".

I don't agree with all what Mark is thinking and believe at though i do think that sometimes the connection of the modern world with the real world is too loose. I have to admit that I admire Mark's decision to do what he believes right.

I don't believe the modern world is wrong. I do believe that the people's education and understanding is wrong that they do not understand how their lives influencing others in places that they don't even know they exist.

Modernization is not bad. Less people found their death in earlier stage of life and had the ability to spent time with their grand kids or great grand kids even. They had a better way of living and could see and explore the world and its magic.

Modernization is not bad. Some of us just lost our orientation and hopefully actions as Mark's will lead us to a better world.
