everything started with my project about giving things away on donation. no prices. the price is up to the customer. the furniture of my house in Australia, my comics on the street.
the results: very few dollars. but many insights
i discover that some people don't even know the word "donation". like in some sad scenario of 1984 of Orwell or alphaville of Godard: words are deleteted for the common speech. so the idea doesn't exist anymore.
so why donation?
first of all i like anarchy: no rules, freedom. but this implicates believing in human beings.
the problem that if you believe in human beings, you are a fool and you'll lose all your money.
people is not AWARE. not aware of themselves, not aware of the consequences their actions.
2000 years ago, a man called Jesus gave a rule, the golden rule, that sounds more or less like: "don't do to the others the things you don't want to be done to you".
but why being good?
because of the consequences of our actions.
if an industry exploits its workers, it can happen that its workers will be unhappy, and they will do some criminal actions, stealing, or violence etc.
this costs (social costs) fall on the society and not on the industry money.
in economics they call this theory of cost externalizing
in india, the law of karma.
simply can be said there should be two winners always and no looser.
the awareness we need to develop is that we are completely entangled with other people actions, and the whole world in general.
if i go to the restaurant i hope the cook had a good fuck the night before so he's happy and makes me a good meal. so to eat well i need that the cooker wife is happy and willing to make sex with the husband. but maybe the day before i took the last packet of the wife favourite cookies at the supermarket and i made the wife unhappy. so if i ate bad maybe it's my fault...
