I have been doing quite a bit of thinking since I posted my last blog. Humans are an interesting lot. If you look through the drawers in your home you will probably find an assortment of gadgets that you purchased a long time ago to make life a little easier that you may never have used or used only a few times. Some would call this a waste of money, but there is an even bigger example of this hanging over our heads.
A cursory review of human literature over the years will reveal a great number of suggestions by humans of all walks of life on ways in which we can improve the quality of life for all humans on this planet, but these suggestions have been relegated to the dusty drawers of our history.
Just this morning I read a post on FB in which the author lamented the fact that most of us only support each other in mass crisis but, when it comes to investing in the lives of each other we turn our head. He advised that we need to support each other to change our present circumstances. He is not the first and unless we actively design our future it will still be a valid lament one hundred years from now.
Why is this our reality? Can you think of other such pieces of advice that clutter our history? Please share.
