Stop! go Back!

There are a lot of times I think humanity sucks, or at least common humanity, the people who walk around every day thinking entirely of themselves and how actions affect them solely. Take our neighboors for example, when you have 4 kids, but you let your own desire for material wealth destroy your marriage, credit rating, and soon your banking status, all the while your kids are just left to do what they please. I just don't understand this mentality, somewhere down that road to hell she MUST have seen the signs that said "STOP! You're not gonna like this ending" or "No exit but a harsh, punishing one of misery and poverty". Such is the trap of the society we've made, where you're given enough rope that you can financially hang yourself, all the while being bombarded from all sides with people saying "You need this! It will make your life so much better! AND you can make payments of only $29.95 a month!".
Don't get me wrong, I'm not without fault, not even in the grandest sense.

There's a great paper written by Stephen Nachmanovitch and Abdul Aziz Said titled Global Thinking", where they talk about things that shape our reality, and our priorities. It's an Excellent read, I definitely would suggest it to anyone.
