As I read through the messages on my laptop this morning, I could not escape the feeling that something was terribly wrong with our world.
This is the first thing we have to face: something is terribly wrong. Not just a little bit wrong, but terribly wrong. What is it?
It is probably a complex of many forces, and it is our job to tackle the worst of them. Agreed?
Probably not. Most people think we should not tackle our big problems, but content ourselves with the small ones. The big ones are too dangerous.
I think one of the big ones is a reversal of values. This can happen easily and has a huge impact. We end up liking bad things and hating good things. Thinking we are doing just the opposite.
The first thing we have to do is admit this is possible. We have been taught that all of the people cannot be wrong all of the time. Maybe so, but if a certain percentage is wrong, a tipping point is reached, where most become wrong. We have to admit this a possibility.
And has already happened.
