EPT
Do you know the feeling that you have a lot of thoughts in your mind that you want to get out? They are so random that you can't tell them to people at work. You can't talk to your family about them. You can't even really understand most of them yourself so they end up in the back of your mind. At some point you forget one random thought but it is replaced by something else.
I do.
I once had a blog on a "real" blogsite. It didn't work out well. It ended up being boring entries of my everyday life and nobody read it anyway. Not that other people reading this is really the point but I think you know what I mean. It felt unfruitious - thats most likely not a real word but I like it. The point is for me to let my thought flow. Sometime I just want to write whatever I think. It free up space for other thoughts, simpler thoughts.
I just watched this documentary. To describe it shortly it is about what humanity have done to the world the past 100-50 years. Its about how the link between water, trees, nature and life have been cut in many places. It was really entertaining and should you want to watch something that is not a sit-com for once go watch it.
But this blog is not about the actual documentary but what it made me think of.
I've always had the opinion that society and humanity are heading in the direction of chaos. In the direction of de-centralization and de-socialization. We're living in a world where people are closer and closer together without actually being in the same society. I live in central Copenhagen, the biggest city in Denmark, but the people I see during my day to day chores are strangers. When I go out on the street I meet people I've never met and most likely never will again. My society is a circle within circles of societies. All connected and yet disconnected.
We live in a world where people I've never seen nor heard of make discisions that have implacations on my life. The politicians are controlling more and more of my everyday life. They no longer set up bounderies for me to live within but set a path before me I have to follow. The higher up you go the less "normal" people have to say. The EU is controlling more and more of Denmarks national politics and EU is bound by international agreements made with other countries like U.S, China, Russia, India and so forth.
This is becoming a political rant, which is wasn't supposed to be. I have just wondering for quite some time now how long this will hold? How long until the system that we have build in the last 100-50 years collapse because we're living to close together in a to constricted environment?
Of course I don't know what will happen. I'm not studying or reading about this as a hobby. I always just felt this way with the limited knowledge I do have. Might be that this is the system that will last forever or a vision close to it. Might be that the world will end with only 1 leader at some point.
The documentary also made me think of what I want to see in the world. I wan't to travel more. Not in the sense that I want to spend more time on a beach in the Caribbeans. I want to go places where few people go. Travel on the icecap of Greenland or Anartica. Hike and live in a jungle somewhere for a few weeks. Climb a mountain. Walk from Asia to Europe - when I wrote this it was meant as an overstatement of what I wanted to do, but reading it again and thinking about it would be and awesome adventure.
What have any of you done? Any ideas?
Now I don't know what to write. Means this blog have fulfilled its purpose.
I wish you all a very good day!
