Just a thought #12: World Domination vs World Change

World Domination or World Change – Is either really ever possible?

The Revolution Network Interviews Roger Wynne-Dyke, Founder of ‘The EXPEDITION Project’ to find out

We find ourselves at an interesting fork in the road, not only in South Africa, but throughout the world. In one direction the people of planet Earth’s will find not only their world around them looking very different in 100 years time than it does today, but they too may be an extinct species altogether. The other fork leads to sustainable change, and a generation that realized that the next ten years are crucial for the survival of the Earth and its inhabitants.

Just a thought #8: Make Money & Save the Earth...possible?

Is it possible to do both?...
…of course it is. Make the most of the trouble we are in by coming up with solutions for governments to buy into. The climate crisis will cost nations between 20% and 50% of their national GDP, so they will have to pay attention eventually, even if it is too late.
An answer for now -

Just a thought #7: Meaning of Life & Planet Earth

Having recently gone through a tough couple of years of my life as we all do, it raises the ever present question yet again – ‘What is the meaning of life?’
I am a romantic at heart and hence believe in happy endings, just like the Hollywood movies. Some people have the amazing ability to always look on the bright side of life, as coined by the Monty Python gang of the 1970’s. Some people however will always find the negative a situation. It’s the glass half empty vs. the glass half full scenario.
But back to my woes, are they really as bad when put in context of the world or other people’s strife? It is human nature to naturally be selfish so I guess your own problems are always more important than any others and hence more pertinent to your life.
John Lennon once said that "life is what happens while you are making other plans". So true that statement is for it seems that we get so caught up in what has happened and what may happen that we miss out on what is happening. Might be easier said than done, for our past will forever be part of our make up as human beings, and naturally we are always looking ahead for a better life, seldom satisfied with what we have today.
In the context of planet Earth, over the course of billions of years our world has learnt, developed, evolved and adapted to what works best, efficiently and effectively for all that occupy it. Each organism works as part of the whole to contribute to our eco system in what has been described as a living, breathing earth. Simplify that down into human perspective- we are also living, breathing organisms and the slightest change in our lives or lifestyle has an effect on our attitude, manor, and daily lives. If we don’t get enough sleep or food, we are irritable, if we are stressed we suffer from anxiety, if we lose a partner or family member we are saddened.  The same is true for the Earth as one big living breathing organism. If it is put under stress or strain it too reacts, if it is not fed it struggles. All in all if either a human being or Earth as a whole is thrown out of balance, its normal routine is hence disrupted. And disruption means a shift in things that were once maybe normal.
What’s the answer, what is the meaning of life?
