Default Missing here, found there

Perhaps you may have felt this whilst watching the movie, perhaps afterwards; maybe listening to the soundtrack or just recreating in your head the wold of the Na'vi and Eywa,...

That feeling which cannot be found here, a feeling of utter freedom, a feeling of completion, of balance and interconnectedness with every single living thing.

It is not that Pandora is desirable because it represents a perfect, no disease, no famine, neither suffering nor problem-free paradise; it's not (humans, you can try it out, are basically a problem solving machine: take them out and we will struggle to create our own trouble to amuse our boredom). Pandora may be as imperfect as planet Earth, but it's got something else that makes it stay closer to perfection; and it is exactly this freedom and mutual union.

Here on Earth societies tend to be either ridiculously big, strict and absolutist; or extremely localized and selfish. It's not our nature (let's not blame things we do not control), it's our lack of will and tendency to never lose for the greater good -always need to gain something or be benefited, if not there will be no deal.

We have the capability to act as we desire, at will; however we have been led too many times by our instincts, and are now walking this path we all know it only brings pain and lovelessness. We could have been lords of our fate, but we let our primitive mindset take over.

I'm not going to speak wonders of the Na'vi because I only met them for 2 hours and a half.

But I can speak for what I see, and say that there they've got something we lost here time ago.
