My words are open for interpretation … we think we are ‘Modern’ but basically we’re not changed as a society … we are still racists, we still have wars, and we still don’t feed nor educate the poor

Hi Ivor, to get rid of materialism we have to get rid of corporates that nurture and grow materialism for financial gain.

Yes indeed … and basically I was thinking we are not really modern, we still have wars, and we have failed to feed and educate the poor …🤗🌏🥲

Nothing has really changed it’s just gotten bigger and worse. Violence against women, children, animals, the earth and other humans. It’s insane. Poverty, no health care, food deserts, lack of education…it never ends. America is a country that takes care of the rich and forces people into poverty through racism and the other isms. Felons/known criminals can run for president.

Excellent answer, Ivor! THAT would fix a lot of the problems…it would help people to think about others and not about all-the-possessions they have and want. Material things are often the source of discontent, anxiety, selfishness, etc., in our lives.

We are human, and therefore flawed because of what we have learned. My hope is that we will get on the right page eventually.
