A thought occurred to me the other evening ... The
world already has everything it needs, all the
necessities without a bit of deficit. There’s enough food produced
to feed the entire word (yet a hunger crisis), we have an abundance
of science, technology, communications, medicine, manufactured
clothing & goods, energy resources for fuel, a system of
currency & free enterprise, import, export, transportation,
distribution, and the world-wide web at our fingertips.
It’s like we already have all the necessary pieces
for healthy, happy, and productive lives, but just don’t know how
to properly connect the parts together in a way that
would form a complete and
permanent outcome: One harmonious
interconnected operating system called "our
world" – where we feel confident, secure, peaceful,
and hopeful for our children’s future.
Even more mind-boggling, it’s clear throughout history that no plan
put in place by our governments, banks, businesses, green groups or
peace groups (and there are many serious and
brillant people in these organizations), has ever really
resolved the problem.
Yet despite of history and its human erring, we still think there’s
some kind of recovery plan to come up with that will fix or
‘stimulate’ things so that we're back on our feet again. It’s
like a roll of the dice, “Let’s put a new plan in place, and hope
things will turn out better this time.” Why should
it turn out any different?
I say none of these plans will work until we figure out what
actually caused the crisis. How? Simply by understanding how our
inherent human nature has resulted in crisis
and what effect globalization and interdependency plays in our
lives. And then what? Then we'll seek to learn the
correct system of connection with one another, not a mere
roll of the dice.
(okay, I said it)... What do you
say?
