One day, a feudal lord was caught in a storm while hunting and he took refuge under a big tree near the temple.

How do you teach ocean conservancy to children besides talking about the danger of plastic waste? All great conservationists, Jacques Cousteau, Steve Irwing, Ric O’Barry, and many others have said the same thing: “People protect what they love!” I couldn’t agree more.I was born in France by the sea. Every night, my mother and I used to walk to the sea, just to look at her and smell her perfume. At high tides we had a show! I was introduced to the wonders of the sea by Jacques Cousteau’s TV series. He had an amazing way to describe marine life by giving each creature human traits. He touched my heart with his poetic narration.In his lifetime, Jacques Cousteau warned that the health of the sea was deteriorating. However, he trusted that the young would turn things around. Over the years conservationists have made a small dent in the problem. There is much talk about ocean conservation, but dolphins, whales, and baby seals continue to be butchered; 90% of sharks are gone due to finning to make shark fin soup; and overfishing is a huge problem that is not being addressed.The words “dolphins, whales, and sea turtles,” are generic, but as soon as you give each creature a name, they suddenly become special. Once these animals go through an adventure and experience human emotions, children will identify with the characters and admire their courage and determination to overcome adversity. Parents want stories with substance that can teach children life lessons.Children are the future. We need to start educating them by winning their hearts with inspiring stories about sea creatures and the ocean. It is only by developing in children compassion for animals and exposing them to the wonders of the seas that they will develop an appreciation of the ocean and become Sea Samurai. There are wonderful children’s stories about animals for preschoolers, but books about animals for the primary grades tend to leave stories behind. These books contain mostly facts about classes of animals. Juvenile fantasy is restricted to unicorn or vampire stories. Grownups have no problem in immersing themselves in the fantasy of STAR WARS or THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Adventure books about the ocean and sea creatures are long overdue. The last great books about the ocean were MOBY DICK and TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. We need to entertain and inspire children to protect animals and the ocean with adventures they will all remember.Without a healthy ocean, the human race is doomed. Many conservationists have stated: “People protect what they love!” It is by touching the heart rather than the intellect that we will save the ocean. Therefore, we need to promote books and movies that will encourage this viewpoint.

All dreams reflect our absurdity and evilness because the planet Earth is an open mental hospital where God tries to cure our craziness.We are dangerous rational animals who have numerous absurd thoughts and obsessions. We have to be tamed, cured, and transformed before killing one another and destroying the planet.There is nothing meaningful in the world we created. This is a crazy world ruled by demons with a human face, where God’s unpleasant commandments have to compete with Satan’s misleading suggestions.The truth is a complete disgrace. There is nothing human in the human race.Everyone’s goodness is false because it depends on their interests. Everyone is evil when they want to please or defend their ego. Everyone merely pretends to respect other people’s rights.Everyone is terrible. Even our conscience thinks like a devil.Nobody protects the weak and poor. Nobody accepts to have disadvantages or endure their suffering in order to help someone else. Nobody accepts what goes against their will.There are no exceptions to this rule if we will exclude the rare saints of the long human history. This is why so many people have serious mental health problems, even if they don’t believe that they are mentally ill.Only goodness can save the humanity, but nobody pays attention to the existence of their spiritual reality. Most people are completely convinced that materialism is better than spirituality.This is why hypocrisy prevails everywhere, while terror, violence, immorality, and greed decide how everyone must live.We don’t believe that the obedience to moral principles has practical value. Exploitation and betrayal seem to provide us with more realistic solutions for our survival.This means that we act exactly like our primitive ancestors, even though we believe that we are superior. The fact that we belong to the modern era and we have many alternatives we couldn’t have before didn’t change our brain.However, we like to believe that we are very different from our idiotic ancestors. We like to admire our discoveries and inventions, without paying attention to our crimes, wars, corruptions, and lies.We cannot evaluate our mental condition because our reasoning system is deficient and we are ignorant. The truth is that we are as idiotic as all previous generations. We still think like prehistoric men, besides having access to more information.The development of our conscience depends on our moral sense. We differ from irrational animals because we are able to respect moral rules. If we don’t respect our moral principles, we have the behavior of wild animals and our anti-conscience becomes invincible.The commercial world makes us believe that we are very intelligent and we live in order to satisfy our ego because this belief is easily accepted by the selfish population, and it is very convenient for all marketers. However, this is a dangerous misconception.We are underdeveloped primates that have a tiny conscience, but think like demons most of the time.We have to forget everything we know and learn everything from the beginning thanks to the information contained in our dreams.If we will do what we want, we will merely repeat the tragic mistakes of our wild ancestors and destroy everything.We have to do what God shows us in our religion and in our dreams.God is our doctor, our teacher, and our protector.
