The Situation cannot be Fixed

The situation is the world we are living in. And for me, that meant the USA, in the last half of the 20th Century.

We were the richest people in history, and the most destructive. These two characteristics should not have occurred together, but they did.

And the result is a worldwide culture and economy that is destroying the earth.

I moved to Costa Rica, to get away from it, but it is following me down here. And the reason is simple: people cannot be rich and be good at the same time. The two virtues are not compatible, despite our strenuous efforts to make them that way. 

"This is true," You may say. : "But knowing this now (from bitter experience) we can start over and make things right."

But most people do not see things this way. And any attempts at changing them, so far, have not been successful.
