… I do feel this is a very insightful comment.
Of course there are many factors contributing to societies worship of ‘things’ … from the way many treat and regard the poor [which makes the acquisition of ‘things’ appear the path to social acceptance] to the large number of communities who literally see no positive future for them or their loved ones to the many people who grow up feeling a lack of love and support from their families.
Basically, I feel we need to press a giant reset button … but given the best chance of that was when we discovered the banks had fucked us all over and yet we [1] didn’t take any real action against the guilty and [2] we have ended up carrying on as we were before [possibly because there were no implications to those who had caused this mess] I doubt we will get that for a long, long time.
Which means our only hope is us.
And love.
In the end, it always comes down to that.

Comment by DH February 8, 2017 @ 6:22 amHe does have a point Robert. That does not mean I doubt what you have written. I agree. It is just complicated when you have personally kept kickstarter in business for the past few years.

Comment by John February 8, 2017 @ 8:51 amWhy do I need a watch to tell me what I already know.
Comment by Rob February 8, 2017 @ 10:10 amWhy do you need a gadget to fiddle with, a suitcase that tells you it’s in the first class lounge and shoes that don’t keep your feet warm?
