Our ‘modern life’ is undergoing a change. It has to.
The planet on which we live is changing its ways. The voice can be clearly heard in howling winds of tornadoes, driving rainstorms and floods, the hiss of rampant wildfires, and the deep rumble of earthquakes.
Resources which we have long taken for granted will one day run out. Then what? We’ve already seen the affects of weather changes on the food supply. Drought has hit some areas while other places have drowned.
Government and industry leaders – each looking out for it’s own best interests – have lined their pockets, ignorant or unwilling to face responsibility OR reality. Who cares? It’s not their problem! Sequestered off in their own private heavens, their souls have been sold for the almighty business deal. The greed of the dollar has won out again, trumping the needs of the people and the planet. These people, our corporate leaders and politicians, who should be serving (we’d like to think) us are serving themselves. The result? A system that is breaking down…, and quickly.
Greed – look where it has led us. Worldwide we find ourselves staring into the jaws of hell; pollution, corruption, greed, economic collapse, shortages, wanton disregard for others. “Me…, Me…, ME” has ruled for too long.
We will find ourselves going backwards. It will become more evident that we have to start to do what our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents did: relate to one another, interact with our communities.
As resources dwindle and prices rise, we will have to plant that garden with our neighbors; reclaim a vacant lot to feed each other. We’ll have to get our hands dirty doing more with less electricity and wasteful practices. We’ll have to become more resourceful instead of wasteful, cutting back on frivolous things; getting to what matters: our family, friends, neighbors and community and the planet.
This is for our own sake….
What are you doing to promote the change that has to be, in your life, your neighborhood and for the world?
