We are the problem

Think about it.

The world you see and inhabit is the product of our thinking, followed by our deeds.

Do you like what you see?

Of course, with this many people, it's easy to lose hope, give up and slink away to the smallest life we can engineer.

What if?

We changed our thinking?

Or at least didn't act out every crazy thought.

We consumed less?

We did more for others?

We challenged the system beyond a few ranty posts on Facebook or your blog (oh, the irony).

We brought more of our humanity to the world.

We devoted ourselves to a proper cause.

We pursued a different religion to the Capitalist ideal.

And we gave a sh*t.

Let's face it, if we were that bothered about poverty, the loss of species or greedy people, would we really carry on as we are -- me included? Hell, no. We'd make our voices known. Better still, we'd protest. Imagine, a few more Rosa Parks in the world.

Sorry if anything I say offends but the world I now see is a pale reflection of that which my great-grandparents and grandparents thought they were fighting for in World War I and II. In fact, I'm pretty sure if I asked them whether they put their life on the line to enable us to consume the planet and freak out on social media, they'd have looked on as only the older generation are able to with a look of quiet condemnation for a life squandered.

Enjoy your day.
