Squandered Credit
Posted on | January 10, 2012 by Benjamin Dovecar
Greece is just the tip of the iceberg of recklessness and conceit of the rest of the world that floats in the ocean of indebtedness, carried by a current of irresponsibility while being pushed towards a massive waterfall of self-destruction.
But that is not the only reason why we are where we are — at the edge of the waterfall. It’s not because we over debted each other but because we misspent the credit that nature gave to us. That’s what pushed us to the edge. That’s the credit I am talking about. About credit that we squandered in order to “keep having more” instead of spending it to “become more”.
And even now, just before falling down, we don’t understand that our game is over and that soon we will fight solely for our own survival. This is not some fictional prophecy. There are solid facts behind my thoughts — the facts that we all knowingly ignore in hopes that nature will continue to credit us favorably and pardon the game we play. But it won’t because nature strives towards balance. By the way we behave we are an obstacle in nature’s way that it needs to get rid of. And that’s why it’s already acting now — by protecting itself while punishing us.
If we really are as intelligent as we think we are then let’s finally start looking for this rationality of ours. Maybe we will find it after all, somewhere deep inside of us, undiscovered. That’s all what we have left to do; otherwise we will fall into the abyss from where there will be no return. And that’s a fact, too.
