"Greed is the disordered desire for more than is decent or deserved, not for the greater good but for one’s own selfish interest, and at the detriment of others and society at large."
- Neel Burton
We are in the era of mass greed. It has taken over western civilization as the only remaining guiding principle.
Consumerism fuels the fire of greed-driven desire.
Get as much money, power, influence, and stuff as you can, as quickly as you can, and with as least amount of work as possible is the golden rule.
People will do anything to acquire the necessary trappings in this sick worship of greed.
That includes destroying everything that is dear, and descending into self and planet destroying ways.
There are two things that can save us at this precipitous point in history.
1. The People awakening to what is happening, sparking a sustained mass movement and/or
2. The total collapse of the system.
Either way, we will at some point get renewal. You could even call it a reset.
But it won't be the so-called elites wet dream of population destruction and total digital control of those that are left standing.
That project started to fail as soon as it was launched.
What is coming is The Peoples' Reset, where free people make up our own minds about what is important, what is essential, and what can be left behind.
Encouraging and rewarding greed have to be the first things to go. Consumerism will fade along with them.
Then we move from being passive consumers to active participants in creative production of the means of living.
It will be simple, and it will be great. For us, and the planet.
