"Gods must be Crazy"

Another movie that I watched recently - "Gods must be Crazy"!
We created our own world.. We changed our environment. We invented and discovered lots of things to "ease" our lives!! Are we at ease? I think we basically complicated our lives!

Its so funny - we have schools also to teach us for 12 years about what we have done to ourselves and our environment. About what someone else has perceived about this world. About what someone else has done to this Earth. And after that schooling, the more innovative people will figure out how to change or adapt our environment to suit our way of living... How to change our lifestyle.. How to make it "easy"!

And it was really hard to believe that there are still some people like the ones shown in the movie - in Kalahari who are unaware of the existence of the modern world.
I liked the way they were described! There is no such thing called 'guilty' in their language. How innocent and pure they are!!

These people are in their own world without knowing anything. They don't even wear dress. They don't go to school. They don't learn Maths, Physics, Chemistry, etc, etc, etc. We learn all these without knowing why we are learning! Without knowing when we are going to use them! They do not know what is money!! They do not know about Employment! They do not know office, schools, cars, cycle, bottle.. They do not know anything which doesn't belong to Nature!!

Seeing them I felt Ignorance is bliss!!
