Such is life. I've had epilepsy since I was 29 and it has been educational, having to occasionally chase down the scattered pieces of my mind and try putting them back together. It takes awhile for the cracks to heal, but I've pushed the reset button on my nine lives enough to think my guardian angel doesn't want me dead just yet. Though for my 62nd birthday, I bought myself a new motorcycle. Of course it's been raining lately.
I think though as a culture, a large part of our current situation is that we are in that interregnum between making government a public utility and making banking a public utility, so the banking element, as the communal circulation system, has allowed the desires to overwhelm the judgement.
We are that tension between the anarchies of desire and the tyrannies of judgement and since government functions as the communal nervous system, while money and banking are the blood and circulation system.
So that rather than circulating wealth and value to the betterment of the whole, it is being siphoned off by those with no other intent, other than they have the power to do so. Which trickles down through the rest of society, as its seeming goal. "Greed is good."
Greed is God.
