On my birthday
The way we here in the Western world, and now even more and more in China and India, live is something that cannot continue. Too many facts show that it is not an option.
A great turning point is going to come, no matter if we want it or not. What remains to be seen is if we will understand it by ourselves and therefore start
changing voluntarily
or
if the day has to come when events simply roll over us and we “are changed”.
As I see it, the second alternative is even more painful than the first. Yet, nobody really wants to forego any of their “prosperity”. Nobody wants to change his or her habits and, in the process, work against the prevailing sluggishness.
But there is still hope. It is said that there is a sort of immune system slowly triggered off in the swarm constituted by humans. We might just be talking a constantly growing awareness in the public perception. Also thanks to the internet, it seems that a civil society is developing. It is a civil society with formative power. More and more NGOs sprout like mushrooms, getting more and more powerful.
Communication and the exchange of values now have a global dimension. And there will be a lot more of the same happening, much of which we cannot even start to imagine today.
We are only at the beginning – and the process of evolution is far from finished when it comes to “Masses of People” (“Menschenhaufen“). On the contrary: as I see it, the development has only just begun and is now accelerating.

P.S.
This is also one of the reasons why I, personally, recommend “speeding down”.
