The Epidemic of Not Being

This, it seems to me - is the Big Problem the world faces. 

We are used to ordinary problems, cause by people acting wrongly. But this one is caused by people not acting at all. They have found it very convenient to not exist, and not be responsible for anything. 

Mostly because no one will fault them for being this way. 

They have demanded that something else be in control - not them. And sure enough, a number of other forces have appeared, to satisfy their demand. None of them beneficial to the people themselves.  

We have always assumed, people will act in their own interests. But we have discovered - they are just as likely, to act against their own interests. 

And they are not choosy about the nature of this self-destruction - as long as this goal is attained.
