“Technology and the times now allow us to not care about the Delta anymore.”

The thing we don’t realize or don’t realize easily is that in the past, due to the fact that we lived in the rhythms of the Delta and in the conditions imposed by the Delta, we were also educated to survive in the Delta. While playing we learned to swim, but in fact we learned to swim in any conditions. While playing we learned to drive a boat or to sleep on a raft or to… But what is certain is that at the age of 16 or 15 or 14 a child from the Delta survived without any problems, in a hostile environment, quite hostile. I mean, he could fall into a ice-hole and he knew how to get out of there, in the winter on the ice he knew how to make a fire, to dry himself, he knew how to do a lot of things.
The man slipped through the Delta and stayed alive. Now he doesn’t slip anymore. Now he has speedboats, now he can get to I don’t know where in 5 minutes. Now he doesn’t care anymore. This is actually happening. We don’t care anymore. Technology and the times now allow us to not care about the Delta anymore. And we don’t teach our children to survive in the Delta anymore. It’s not necessary anymore.
