Nice interview, from the WWFAustralia, I think the interviewer really wanted David to give him a hug? If you know me, I'm really cautious of 'personality cults', in any sphere. And the environmental movement is no exception! Being Canadian I grwe up watching Mr.Suzuki and in fact my brother went to school with his children. That said, he defends, what would be considered to any intelligent life force as common sense, consumption! don't consume so much. I believe it's sin that drives us to consumption, we get hurt angry, scared, we reach for comfort, which is natural, but, it turns so quickly to seeking to control vice! Which is incontestably, an unsatisfiable hunger. I think of the Desert Fathers, Pachomius of Thebaid, St.Anthony the Great, that there journeys (if I may so boldly venture) into the Deserts, really speak to this issue in two very converse ways, firstly: that, a life that is led by sin, leads incontestably to, a scorched barren earth. secondly: that, the opposite holds true, and even in a DESERT, a life lead by Grace is, more fertile and abundant than all of what David Suzuki and every other scientist, ever has observed, (or imagined for that matter!!) anywhere, in History. I do believe, its as simple as that, and that their voices echo clearer now, than any other time in History. Amen.
Now, on a lighter note, apparently their is 9 piles of fresh puppy poop, somewhere ready to be picked up!
Here's the vid. more on Suzuki later!
