All sadly true.I think perhaps a degree of tiredness enters into that. After beating one's head against the wall, stopping feels less bad...Unfortunately i don't see the majority of those in charge - the elites, boomers (my bunch - i am on the tail end), or older folks (present company very much excluded, no disrespect intended) as really being engaged/committed to changing things...Superb succinct summary. .Daily servings of ice cream, air conditioning, and big screen flat panels, in the field of all places...Unbalanced is good. Well, it isn't good but that's an accurate call......the only thing i could possibly add is to echo your observation that we are out of balance...Yes. Yes...It feels like a storm is about to break...and while it is my sense that we will successfully get through it... it is also my hope that some of the nastiness and stupidity prominently on display throughout the world of late will not...
So as usual i guess, we are on our own and we will have to continue to make positive things happen within our small spheres of influence.
My grandparents on both sides of the family made it through the depression and the war...good people, good memories...my take away is that hard times don't last and friends and family make the tough times bearable and the fun times, of course, even better...
