World problems

There are plenty of other idea-schools contending for attention on the great issues of the day - global warming, environment, world hunger, animal welfare, and each is significant so none of them can be sidelined. Are we overwhelmed by the extent of world problems, each of which need to be solved, one by one? Do we say, “Too hard, too hard” or “Another day, another day”? Is there a feeling today that we won’t find the answers we need? Are we reluctant to go beyond our mindsets to find answers? Is it all too big and too difficult? If we do think this way, nothing will change and we’ll head straight for our own destruction.
We can’t expect politicians to fix things for us. We need to lead the way and make our own step forward. Small changes won’t help. Radical changes may help.
