What's really important in life, let's appreaciate good things

Aboriginal’s Dreamtime made me wonder, are we heading into a better world? Or are we leading to eventual destruction as aboriginals think? Are we valuating the right things?

My conclusion was that human being is getting everyday more selfish, money has become the most important thing in life, sometimes we estimate people according on how much money they have. Since we are born, we study to work, we work all our life to earn money, and that’s the only thing that seems to matter in life, MONEY, some people are capable to do anything in order to get more money, taking advantage of others, not caring their feelings or problems.
We have even destroyed the harmony, cycles and stations of our planet. For centuries human has overexploited the earth, digging gigantic holes in the earth or seafloor in order to get fuel for our cars, contaminating the air we breathe with factories, destroying other living things environment for our own benefit, only receiving and not giving anything back. Pretty selfish don’t you think?
Is it time for change? Is it time to re-evaluate what’s really important in life? Let’s live our lives the best way we can, let’s forgive, love, dance, laugh…  That’s why I want to share with you this great video about things that will make you appreciate life and reflect about how you’re living your life.
The sentence I liked the most of the video was “ENJOY THE POWER AND BEAUTY OF YOUR YOUTH, YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THE POWER AND BEAUTY OF YOUR YOUTH UNTIL IT FADES.”
