Documental "Baraka": el espíritu humano insaciable 
is wonderful to observe the immensity of the mountains, going through clouds at sunset, or breathing fresh air and moist air from a forest that is home to several species and, why not life. "Baraka" means blessing, we are blessed with nature and a treasure that is harmonious and every living thing plays a particular role.
Meditation or the connection to be supreme, be it religion or belief may be, leads the human being in a state that unlike other species, the ability to reason and feel that your life is not comprised only of the body and satisfaction. When you close your eyes, sing, pray, or dance, reflecting on his surroundings and discover the importance of being in harmony with other human beings and nature.
But modern civilization has displaced the need for the human being with his spirituality, making the individual into a machine for slave labor and consumption. Advertising levels beyond persuasion and becomes a kind of brainwashing, which convinces the individual to deposit the meaning of life in material things and their accumulation absurd, yes, no matter or reflect how many lives they had to sacrifice working in appalling conditions for manufactured products are displayed in showcases or how that works destroys the environment which we all belong.
Moreover, technology mediated society in which we live can be a double edged sword. While technology has contributed to saving time and money, there are times that the telecommunications resilience than individuals with the volume of tasks and / or information produced by them. These situations cause fatigue and stress in any area that will play. We are constantly listening to "Oops, I have many things to do," I'm tired, I need a vacation, "" Working day and night ", we must not accept such levels of exploitation that threaten our health.
can not speak of globalization only in commercial terms. The social aspects of daily palpate and noticed that destruction of native cultures, the alienation of "best cultures", so much so that we impose dress and lifestyles, for example when we see a Otavalo has begun to wear jeans, and finally immediate acceptance of stereotypes that do not belong in our country and cause frustrations on people they do not meet that requirement tax.
When greed invades the human heart is capable of committing grave atrocities and wipe out humanity and all that surrounds him. Did these wars and civil, tribal or global, are justifiable? Are there any winners, when both groups were dead?
But all is not lost as it seems. The human being also needs intelligence to feel good about yourself and place your happiness in a spiritual manifestation. The human race is insatiable thirst we all have to make sense of life, and as unbelievable as it seems God or call it Allah, Shiva, Yahweh or Buddha, we can fill the soul. Be it religion, professed man's harmony with the universe and their peers. I admit that religion is not the only source to enjoy the spirit, we have the art, science, political beliefs, social values, respect for nature, etc, the problem is when our inner peace is given by the outside world or it depends.
When men and women know life care (personal, environmental and other human beings) and we propose to build democratic societies that are just, participatory, sustainable and peaceful, we will live in countries where all children can learn and play instead of working or being abused, where elderly people are cared with care and where people who do not have to break the law to eat.
The process will require a change of mind, perhaps a new paradigm for postmodern individualism is destroying the world, and of course heart. We must be responsible for the world, to care for is our only home and respect the lives of all living beings that inhabit it. So not only will ensure the rights of every human being, but our existence.
