Prop it 48 Drop it

As a global community, we often appear as a dysfunctional family. We bicker constantly, the strong abuse the weak, and alleged leaders behave like addicts, unwilling to change the destructive habits that are destroying our home. As in any abusive relationship, the powerful proclaim a taboo against protest and vilify those who cry out as the crazy ones.

we do need to call for a radical action, which is to challenge the leaders we voted for. we should be reminded that we're a planet in overshoot and that it is insane to grow our consumption.

A very thoughtful post! It is so important, not to get used to the cicumstanzas, not to accept the status quo. We have to stay sensitive to everything that doesn´t work in our society, even if the daily news are a kind of immunisation for most of us. I was shocked, when I realized that the number of people starving to death every day is ten times higher than the number of inhabitants of the city I live in. We haven´t been good caretakers for the world we live in, because we regarded its resources as endless, its nature´s wealth as our belonging and the ecological balance as indistructable. Now that we see how wrong we were, this shock should perhaps help us to heal our traumatization!
