Hello Searle, Didn't read the full article, it sometimes feels like reading too much of this stuff eats at the soul.
Just from what you have posted I tend to think that the extreme opposite end of the spectrum would be a Buddhist quote that "Man's greatest work is but to walk upon the earth".
The last line, " But people fight only when they know what they have lost and what they still have to lose."
Hmmm, "still have to lose" what?? The only thing that will or would be lost is the feeding of the "I want more, more, more" mind-set. Too much of the world has worked itself into a feverish pitch of the more, more stuff.
Advertising today, especially on TV, is continually telling people, if you don't have this or that, your life is sub-standard. It's no wonder the public debt is so high.
It's some kind of feeding frenzy when you look at it a certain way.
I must be getting old, all this stuff is forcing my mind back 45 years ago when thing were a lot simpler. That cabin by a lake is looking better all the time.
There's an idea, maybe if the whole world went fishing for a couple of weeks everybody would come back with a better attitude. Naww, the schemer,s would probably come back with something worse then we have now.
You know Searle, on good days I think this society is a joke, laugh at it!
On bad days I think this society is a bad joke, laugh at it anyway! |
