So it's raining again today.After 6 years in Athens no matter how much I' ve changed people seem emotionally stagnant and miserable.Funny thing is that I m fighting as well not to be like them.I m trying to cast off this negativity that runs through everyone.I m trying to be well-intentioned with the fellow man.Truth should be told I m failing on this one as patience and optimism were never my strong point.
I m taken by surprise by the smell of optimism that dances on the air since the first day the new government (PASOK) came.Before elections came in everything was black now they all pressed a button and they acquired green hopes.Oh the media.It's a great science the study of psychology of mass and the energy it carries on to the community.
Days like these i m thinking about my childhood.I see people online with whom we ve learned to write together, fight,play with marbles , knock down old abandoned houses.After so many years so many things have changed.You try to start a conversation but there's a lot of constraint so you leave it half all the time.We are no longer playing with marbles either knocking down houses together.
2030
I dream of a house in a meadow surrounded by 20 acres of solar panels.
My field of vision is restraint by two-three hills which they go green-red in spring from the poppies, yellow the summer and they are left baldly in the winter.My kids are playing outside at my orchard with bugs and my wife is gathering tomatoes for the salad.Life has slow and easy-going rhythms.Nothing around us works with oil anymore, the world has moved forward and found the golden spot.Technology no longer reacts against environment's prosperity.There is no deception anymore as money is no longer the driving force of this planet.There is no starvation, no war since they solved the energy problem.The third world is no more.All the depressed areas of Africa after the energy revolution became green fields.The new technologies have completely used the geologic and climate status there.Sahara Desert covers the 45% of world's energy demands.Some gazilionare humanitarian gave all his money to set up solar plants in whole desert.
Present
As my mind is drifting away reality wakes me up and i m back at work.Suddenly I feel like when i tried to push a 3 times heavier than me kid and fell down.Volume Displacement they call it in physics.
