COMMENTARY
|
We live in a hateful world. Our world is governed by hate. Hate consumes us all. Our challenge is to turn it into a loving world. We begin with ourselves. We have two things going for us; we can learn, and we know in our hearts what is right. "We have the technology to save the world but not the creativity", said Buckminster Fuller in his insightful book, Critical Path, forty years ago. He said our technology is two levels ahead of mankind because of our lack of creativity. The creativity needed is coming from a new consciousness erupting throughout the world. The eruption of creative and loving solutions will replace the hateful, politically attained solutions, like war and prisons, that are destroying the world. There are buttons with excerpts from Spinoza and Erich Fromm who define all there is to understand about love and hate, a review of an extraordinary book by Julian Jaynes tracing the roots of consciousness from archeological diggings, and poems by Mitch Carter. The commentaries are political awareness of the world situation and philosophical insights into the dilemmas facing mankind; specifically the need to find solutions to the suffering in the world using our greatest assets, our creative imaginations and the love in our hearts. |
