Today I was listening to one of #AlanWatts lessons on #youtube and came across this passage (in a slightly different context) that, in my humble opinion, applies to what we are going through today in this world:
“(…) to you, as members of a world which is running into the most intense difficulty:
A world be set by a complex of problems, anyone of which would be bad enough, but when you add together all the great political, social and ecological problems with which we are faced - they are appalling.
And one naturally says - the reason why we are in such a mess, isn’t not simply that we have wrong systems for doing things. Weather they be technological, political or religious. But we have the wrong people. The systems may be alright, but they are in the wrong hands because we are all in various ways, self-seeking, lacking in wisdom, lacking in courage, afraid of death, afraid of pain. Unwilling really to cooperate with others. Unwilling to be open to others. And we all think that’s too bad.”
