Is utter chaos a pre-requisite for change

I spent my earlier career as a health professional. My observation of people seeking an end to pain was that the investment in prevention was a rarity. Most people chose an unhealthy lifestyle, even after suffering a serious and deadly event like a heart attack requiring open heart surgery. Months later, all that behaviour that created the heart attack was back on their personal menu.

In simple terms, people walk knowingly to their sudden death.

This is acceptable when we make the choice for ourselves. Perhaps our families will suffer our loss.

Yet when we as a civilisation wilfully and knowingly walk over the abyss, I wonder at the sheer selfishness of this collective action.

For what? Fun and frivolity today for the few? Or perhaps that ridiculous cry for freedom of rights, completely void of any level of responsibility.

I see the only way out is through the chaos. We must break down. While this might sound pessimistic, and those who pay the highest price are likely to be the innocent, a collective reduction to our knees is a lesson that appears to be on the human lesson plan.

This does not mean we stop our protest, that we sit out and wait in silence. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Those of us committed to building new boats that make the current ones obsolete must stay the course. Building models that work.

For a world with a future.
