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. But vegan mentality is the only logical starting line to all of this new approach to issues. And that is too much to handle for many people, who are already overwhelmed by world problems, and that’s before we ever get to the personal ones. Each ‘problem’ needs to be solved, one by one or preferably all together! In what ever way the problems of the world are to be solved depends a lot on attitude - do we say, “too hard, too hard” or “another day, another day”? Is there a feeling we’ll never find the answers? 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 up for us. We need to lead the way and make our own steps forward. Small changes won’t help. Radical changes may help.
