4 Generations and a Waterbuffalo
This is a short film by Robert Thompson about the web leading people to find ways to express compassion. The story is told in the film so I won't be redundant but in the context of the present I wonder how often we spend our efforts trying to get poor people technology when we can give them something we consider plain and outdated, and yet completely change their lives.
I posted on phoDak a while back about a world with idealists and this is what I meant; instead of being captive to a focus on the dark side of human nature, freeing ourselves to be optimists even when we know the odds might not be favorable. Sometimes when I feel my inner curmudgeon taking control, I look to things like this to help me believe the best in people and the world around me.
I guess that makes me an idealist of sorts, some of the time.
