The Sacred Balance with David Suzuki

The Sacred Balance with David Suzuki

"We are the water we drink, the air we breath, the soil that feeds us, the energy that keeps us going." Suzuki explains our relationship with the earth and how over time we lost the connection. When people began to believe that everything theirs for the taking. Before this culture had a bond with their lands that surpassed just practical reasons. They believed their land to be sacred, something to be cherished "Human beings make their mark on the land and over generations the land shapes them." (Suzuki) This video is effective how it explains the human as a protector a expansionist and a living creature whos great adaptation of learning catapulted us into a new state of dominance over all other species. We have become greedy and are beginning to loss our morals of old. But as crisis approaches people are looking into the future as well as what has already past. "Science & technology (is) one bank of the river and religion, tradition & faith (is) the other bank of the river. both the banks need to be firm and then only the river can maintain the flow."-Veer Bhadra Mishra (Hydrological Engineer) This quote sums up the title (the sacred balance) and the purpose of the video. And perhaps our only chance of solving moving on from this age old problem.
