So, The World continues its slow descent into panic.
Glad to see that they're still keeping it all afloat by bunging more money at it, well, what else can you do? There's far too much at stake for those who know to let it all come crashing down.
What else would we do anyway?
So much of how we are, as a society, is central to the system we hold so dear. Technology, life styles, diet, cars,sex all of it wrapped up in a neat little package of consumerism . We are sold a way of living and we love it.
We'd have to reassess everything we do and everything we hold dear. We talk of alternative lifestyles and wanting to live in a different way, be closer to The Earth. Even that's based on money. Someone sells us something that makes us feel better about our purchase because its got words like "hand crafted by really poor people" or "made from sustainable wood source " on it.
It makes us feel like we care, we're being good, not just taking, giving back.
It's as simple as this really, the difference between wanting to change something and having to is becoming a very real possibility in our life time.
So my friends, what should we do? We could always carry on and hope that it all works itself out or perhaps start thinking about what it really means to live a different life, because we might be one day..soonish.
