It should be a wake up call to what really matters in
life. We have to recognise that the world does not revolve around ourselves,
that we are part of a bigger picture, that we belong to a community and to a
planet both of which are in a delicate state of being due to a society that promotes self-promotion
and greed at the expense of intrinsic values. For it is only in giving to other
humans and to the Earth can we truly feel that our few years of existence is
worthwhile. This principle underpins every science course I teach, every
technology I promote, every environmental, political, social and community campaign that I get
involved in.
The personal enjoyment is in giving knowledge that enriches or
empowers the lives of others, and to realise that so many others all around me
also giving their time, energies and resources to do likewise.
That puts a smile on my face every time!
Enjoy the video!
