Chaos Reigns

We are experiencing a self-created crisis. Too many things are out of balance – inequality, ecosystem degradation, personal and societal finances characterized by excess debt and deficits etc. Imbalances and the crisis they create have happened many times before. They are meant to wake us up and shake us up. The pandemic, climate change, growing inequality, worldwide conflict are all creating opportunities to change our thinking and behavior about our priorities and values. The status quo is no longer sustainable. We must all take responsibility for our problems and make personal changes in our beliefs and behavior. Our beliefs were ingrained in early childhood. Are they still accurate now that we have matured and have greater understanding? Are they creating the kind of world we want filled with peace, harmony, prosperity, loving relationships? We can no longer look to others to solve our self-created problems. We can all take some responsibility for creating better balance in some aspect of our life. It sounds overwhelming but as more people tackle our challenges, a critical mass will form and draw in others until a majority forms and progress is evident.

With a positive attitude and meaningful effort from more and more citizens we can successfully tackle our fears and troubles. The road ahead may be bumpy at times but the future is bright. But we must all play a part; determine how you can best contribute. Doing so will be a very fulfilling endeavor.
