Selected for Scholarships 2009-10, MBA of Luxury and Fashion Management, School of Fashion, IED Milano
In the past the Earth was a beautiful paradise of unspoiled nature. The man lived in harmony with it, yielding only what it was really necessary to exist without disturbing its balance.
The situation now is quite different.
Technological progress is the reason we do not see what is becoming increasingly evident to the specialists - the explosive growth of unfavorable natural factors, incompatible with the life on the planet. Why man has turned against the nature and made it a scapegoat of progress?
The most serious threat lies not only in the objective laws of human progress, which require more and more resources, but also deep into the human psyche: our propensity to sacrifice long-term prospects for quick profits threatens our very existence. In hectic times, human values seem to have been lost a bit. Everyone seems to be seeking only personal success. Man has become a materialist. In the name of an affluent lifestyle, convenience and over-luxury he is increasingly moving away from happiness. To achieve its objectives, the materialist steps over everyone in its path, who somehow forbids him.
Today, when we are looking for the cause of environmental degradation, we do not notice how we are the ones harming it. We need to think a little more. To look deeply into ourselves, into our souls and to make there a little nook. A place for the mother land, where there is love, there is conscience, desire, the feeling of closeness to nature. Nature is one of our biggest values, one factor without which the existence of the human species is so inconceivable - isn’t the nature ours? Mine, yours, our family’s, our children’s. People, animals, birds, plants - all are interconnected in a huge chain, we are all one. Human life is part of the life of the nature.
Nature is a miracle and a major driving force of life. She has grandeur, harmony, balance. Nature is like a painter with a playful color palette in hand. She elicits unique emotions, but often forgotten in our daily lives. Our environment can affect our emotions and mood through color. Colors are an energy carrier, and we feel them in their own individual way. Let us bring the nature into our daily lives and allow ourselves to light the colors, let us be better to each other.
