The world is changing soo fast. Dramatic change in every system. If you don’t see it, you feel it. Its exciting. Its scary.
My current thought about our “flattening” world is stuck in this concept i was first taught about as a young good catholic girl wearing tights and ponytails: there is a place or time or kingdom where “the least becomes the greatest, and the last the first”.
“The least” have strengths only incurred by their trials. They understand their need to survive as a unit. They grow inner strengths to overcome by mere human will. They are not enslaved to things or safety. They learn feel hurt and pain. They are know how to survive. As victims alive they can build unbeatable systems. Unbeatable to any other than their own grandchildren, that is. Ungratefulness is weakness.
The greatest become dependent upon certain props to survive. Most current greats are generations into their safe and encumbered lives. They often lack ability to face pain and hurt, so easy to buy joy. They become far too independent and when in need lack the needed community or know how to operate in one. They often react to loss with a scarcity mindset rather than an innovative surviver one. They fall victim to their own system and cannot get out for they empower new leaders and make their problems leaders new agenda.
