Sunday Evening

Most of the time we are not able to make a shift, a real change in our life, unless a catastrophic event of some kind occurs. Often that means the death of a friend or relative, a disease, an accident, something that shakes us up...

I think it is clear to most of us, that humanity cannot continue on its present course. As below, so above: it will also take a catastrophic event, or a series of them, to inspire a shift in humanity. That change will not come as a result of governmental or corporate decision-making, because they are only self-serving. Rather, I think this change will suddenly happen - after catastrophe strikes once, or multiple times...

The definition of a healthy complex organism is the ability to bounce back from catastrophic failure. Of course, the cost will be great and many lives will be lost.
