IS A GREEN GOBLIN LEIGH: We measure ourselves in things:
objects of wants, objects of pleasure. We spend our lives
spending in order to conquer the empty world that
sometimes fills our souls and our minds. Loneliness.
Isolation. Separated by the social workings of government
and culture. We are unconnected. We try to link ourselves
together by the things we own and wear. Hypocrite. I am
one. For I fall prey to the ease. Wanting. Privileged by
a status-having lived without and not wanting to do that
again. We make the world suffer because of our
selfishness, our laziness, our lack of control. Why can't
we give? Without the thought of the earth, without the
thought of human cost. We subject ourselves to the
pollution and the cancer in order to be more 'worldly.'
And what does civilized mean? Are we really happy or are
we really sedated beneath the blankets of consumerism and
comfort. Our hands filled with ease. It erupts into an
endless field of greed. ROSS: There's a hidden cost to
convenience. Others suffer for your greed. I've finished
giving myself excuses. I've promised myself to try. To
try to live an honest life. I'll acknowledge the cost of
my actions. Open your eyes to the hidden truth. Close
your eyes to their marketing. Convenience seems to be our
only concern. In search of benefits, ignoring the harms.
It's such a pretty picture that's been painted for us and
we're all buying into it. TOM: We've got our eyes on the
future with no regard for what's left of our generations
and no regard for life.
