"All the world's a stage we pass through." - R. Ayana
Many processes that have made modern civilization possible are approaching their end-point. Easily accessible oil is now running out, the rate of carbon dioxide increase and that of other ‘greenhouse’ gases has shown a near-vertical rise on statistical charts since the 1990s. Likewise the rates of species extinction, the rise of atmospheric toxins, hormone mimics, cancers, birth defects, world industrialisation, fresh water and soil depletion, loss of biological diversity, food supply, and even earthquake activity, tsunami incidence and climate change (the beginning of an impending climatic disaster – an ice age).
Any one or two of these situations may be coped with, meaning there might be minimal population and planetary ecosystem diversity loss. Together, they are a sword hanging over our heads and portents of doom.
The world financial systems are a house of cards and the nation/tribes are armed to the teeth. Civil liberties, common law rights, freedom of travel and freedom in most forms is being curtailed by zealot governments. You don’t need a weatherman to tell which way the wind’s blowing.
In the search for ‘credible threats’ the bully nations have created straw men and armed them with hatred. Bread and circuses are never enough to keep the populations in thrall, and in difficult times escalate to unnecessary, time and energy-consuming ‘luxuries’ and the ultimate blood-sport, war itself.
Civilization is careening on a cliff-top road, without brakes or a competent driver. A very clear symbol of its demise is the end of the Titanic, that unsinkable vessel with only enough lifeboats for the rich, sunk by an iceberg in freezing waters.
It’s time for a change – time for us all to change all the things we know in our hearts are wrong about the way we live. There’s no more time to put it off until later – it’s getting late indeed.
Stop buying things, start making things. Stop finding fault, start finding solutions. Stop being alone, start banding together in friendship. Time to start exploring your potential and new ways of living and doing things.
And maintain a sense of immanence – the end of an age is happening right here, right now. This is what new beginnings look like.links: digg this del.icio.us technorati reddit
