There are more than one way to look at life, than a single state of mind. There are many alternatives to business as usual. We don't have to throw out the baby with the bathwater. We can continue to prosper and distribute the wealth more evenly, to invent and create. This is an unstoppable motivation for human beings.
Every privilege has a price attached paid for in the loss of rights and freedom of choice.
Without considering human beings, the environment and the impact on all the other living creatures, we have mistakenly destroyed precious resources, intelligence that we need for survival. Who asks the hard questions and even gets a reply anymore. Are we such ns for our doom, that we would destroy ourselves, the planet and all future generations without consideration. We pride ourselves as a nation, at being an open society, integrating people from many races into one homogenized, media-based culture. Yet everyday hundreds of thousands of people are discriminated on the basis of financial considerations, limiting their options and choices in a free society by a system that few people understand.
