A difference

I just saw an interview with Jane Goodall. That woman does make a difference in this world, for sure, she is amazing, rousing, honest, reasonable and rational. Bright. Just read her Curriculum Vitae and be impressed.

Yet she is humble.

It´s not "just" about chimps. In this small time-frame I learned heaps more than in school about humans, I guess.
Ok. I wanted truly to understand and learn. And sometimes I thought,

"yep, dream on! If I was to live the way you suggest, what should I work for? Look at my world, do you know the Hartz concept? I work my ass off for nothing, whilst others refuse to work and have nearly the same "income", the same money to live from - and I can even understand them!

I ordered electricity and gas from a local provider. Costs more, is from sources I can track back and I support workplaces in my area. I didn´t choose the 'good one' though, all natural and really expensive. No pay raise in six years (and no, it´s not `cause I´m dumb!), how can I afford such?!
'Good food' - ... no pay rise..."

I could. Use a carpool again, work at times I don´t want to, hence. Loose my freedom. I could do that.

And see all those around me who could do that without forgo anything. Who just want to get more, more, more - for themselves.

Sad thing I can´t present that interview of her here. She didn´t accuse her listeners.

She brought on the facts.

Our brain versa our live-style. Maybe we act right when our backs are really plain against the wall.

That makes me feel bad. I really, really could do something. And see no sense in it. There are so, so many people who could help easily and don´t let go of any comfort - and they simply don´t care - why should I?

Fireworks - I don´t wanna know how much money is spent on this again. Whilst others suffer - humans as well as animals and environment. Ingo bought some sparklers. They are XXL, sparkle for 5 minutes.

We do live fairly. We use energy saving lamps in every place it makes sense. We heat the rooms only a bit, shower together to save water and energy, use TFT-monitors, go by bike where possible, you name it.
And you can always do more.

What I need is motivation. Show me why it´s me, explicit, to let go of comfort.

Jane Goodall made me thinking (again), you can visit her places here.

Is this OK for a Happy New Year´s-Wish?

Motivation to care?

And act?
