Bewegungsapparat

“Bewegungsapparat” has different meanings in the German language. The medical meaning is “musculoskeletal system”, but it also consists of the words „Bewegung” (Engl. movement)  and “Apparat” (Engl. apparatus).Ignorance, overwhelm or poverty… There are many reasons why people do not change their way of life so that future generations have the same opportunities to use resources as the present. From an evolutionary point of view, we are overwhelmed with the problem of environmental degradation. We have could not develop a thought pattern over the last millennia that would have taught us to be solution-oriented to live. Our perception is designed in such a way that the present is more important than that future is.

Seen in this way, we move in one continuous treadmill that turns incessantly to maintain the previous system. We are literally sawing off the branch we are sitting on.
