„Above the dam we used to change the oil back in the 1950s. We simply let the old oil run into the ground. No one thought at the time that it might contaminate the groundwater“ the old man told me. Shaking his head at his own stupidity. „So soon after the war, people thought of other things…“ he said.
– They just didn’t know it then. They didn’t know that one drop of oil could contaminate 10,000 litres of water. You can’t think about what you don’t know. You can’t be aware of what you don’t know.
Okay. Today we know many things and yet we don’t think about them. We don’t make ourselves aware of it. We find ourselves after, before and in the midst of other personal and social wars that demand all our attention.
But most people still don’t know what is written here. Or they no longer know…
After reading it, they have to decide whether they want to carry what they now know with them in their consciousness…. And whether they want to act consciously in this new knowledge…
