For the last three years i have been following the World News, faithfully trying to divine the trends and directions humanity is taking, in order to get a sense of what is going on in the world around me.
Mostly with the help of the awesome & diligent reporters from the New York Times, The Guardian, the Spiegel and so on i tried to keep my ear to the ground …
But i have to admit that i am feeling like i reached a turning point right now:
Turning away in disgust!
The world is in turmoil, there is no doubt about it!
This might be a sign of transformation
or this might be just the chaotic nature of things.
But what really makes me want to throw up
are the politicians
the political class
the people in power
the men in suits
and a few women too
the elected officials
the political appointees
the self appointed rulers
the autocrats
the dictators
the power hungry
the talking heads …
Well, i am sure there are a number of decent ones as well.
Some who keep a low profile, who don’t need to be in The News all the time.
Some who may be truly trying to do what they have been elected to do:
Serve the people!
Make society run smoothly and to the benefit of all!
But mostly … i see a degenerate class, a corrupted people.
Maybe it is the power that corrupts?
Maybe the system is built to sweep up the people with the biggest ego?
Maybe this has always been so?
I don’t really know, i just know one thing:
It makes me sick to the stomach to look at it any longer!!!
Time for a revolution!!!
Thanks for listening.
It was good to get this out of my system ; )
Well, an agreement definitely. Once I read an oppinion saying that the politicians are the embodiment of the society, the people, who voted them. It makes sense, as at least in the Western world, but in many other countries too, we elect our politician to represent us. And yes, yes, yes to all your 3 questions! Unfortunately!
