    Re: Duke the menace

    Well I am going on my way to 60 years (I have 55) but damn, I know a lot of kids that don't have half of the energy I give to life.

    When are they thinking to make their own life projects?

    It is really a pity to look at someone that is around twenty looking in the infinite while seating on the sofa pretending that is watching TV.

    The absolute lack of criteria is alarming and they are not really seeing anything. After that I had to listen to him saying: "How could anyone live without a remote control".

    My will was to launch him in the middle of the rain forest for at least a month. Maybe then he could understand that to reach the science and knowledge to get to that remote control has a long way of men and invention and mathematics and physics.

    I still wonder myself with those men that painted the caves, so long ago. They had no supermarket to buy the red or the green. They had to make each and every color with their own hands. They needed to understand the properties of each material to paint those walls, in a time that staying alive was an all time job.

    What kind of human (dependent) species are we creating? Have we forgotten that independence from all environment is the first quality for survival?

    I am a stone age man, I am really much more next to that men that painted the caves than to my own family members, not watching TV while seated in front of it.

    That is what I am doing today, painting my caves, I couldn't live without that. I will do it till I die because if I stop, I will die everyday while I am alive.

    I will paint my caves till there are no more caves to paint and meanwhile will try to stay alive.
