“These ways to make people buy were strange and new to us, and many bought for the sheer pleasure at first of holding in the hand and talking of something new. And once this was done, it was like opium, we could no longer do without this new bauble, and thus, though we hated the foreigners and though we knew they were ruining us, we bought their goods. Thus I learned the art of the foreigners, the art of creating in the human heart restlessness, disquiet, hunger for new things, and these new desires became their best helpers.” PeopleWayFirstsHumansHeartArtDoneHandsDesireLossPleasureTalkingStrangeCreatingHungerDisasterHatedSomething NewGoodsNew ThingsSheerHuman HeartForeignersRestlessnessOpiumHelpers Author:Han Suyin

“The system of technological production that we have today has been justified in terms of creating more goods to feed more people and to meet more needs. But it actually destroys more of the resources that we need in order to meet those multiple needs. If we shift to an ecological perception, a diversity perception, we realize that some of the instruments of which we are very proud are actually extremely primitive for dealing with nature. To me that is the great lesson of ecological awareness at the turn of the millennium.” PeopleIfsNeedsHas BeensTodayOrderTurnsTermRealizingAwarenessProudLessonsDiversityPerceptionCreatingResourcesInstrumentsProductionsGoodsPrimitiveMultipleTechnologicalJustifiedEcologicalMillennium Author:Vandana Shiva
