[caption id="attachment_76280" align="aligncenter" width="580" caption="http://picasaweb.google.com"][/caption] Twenty years ago, I had naver imagined that water would had been capitalized. At the time, people could use water freely without buying at all. They could use it for drinking, washing, cooking, taking a bath, or irigating the farm. They were united by consensus had to obeythat water were belong to public. So, they had to use the water wisely. [caption id="attachment_76279" align="aligncenter" width="293" caption="dok.pribadi"]
I still remembered, ancient people also put “gentong” at the street beside their house to share water with other people that needed it just to drink. When I was childhood I looked at almost every house put it . Every one passing the street was freely to drink water when they were thirsty. That wasthe example of“the real civilization”. I mean civilizing the water. Now, everything has changed. Human being is more mature in thinking but not in feeling. He/She just think how make something to be profit indivually. Water is not belong to public anymore but belong to individual having capital. [caption id="attachment_76282" align="aligncenter" width="335" caption="aqua.com"]
So it is common today villager buy water to drink. Even, in some area villager also buy water for washing or taking a bath.
The problem is modern people claiming “civilized people” really are failure in civilizing the water.
