Fear and Disappointment: What we are doing to the world.


When in Melbourne, I like to spend the time inbetween activities checking out all the street art. I did notice a bit of a theme.

"They told us the future would be better than this". You can't blame young people for being angry at the older generation. The poverty, the insecurity for work and housing. And we're all angry at the war mongering that's going on.
"A head full of fears has no room for dreams"
I think we have stolen a lot from our youth and we really ought to be ashamed. We need to do more. We need to leave them something better. 

This pretty mosaic reminded me of the fall of Rome. It feels very much like we are arrogantly destroying ourselves and our way of life. "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." Ariel Durant.
