There is a clear crisis of ethics in public life that cannot be denied despite humpty dumpty exaggerations. There is an apocalypse mentality in the media, a pandemic watchfulness, which can be self-predicting as it is real.
Governments cannot control their populations or itself as well as formerly. Gradually the mood is moving toward a destructive funnel cloud that has gradually spread throughout all the intellectual activities and arenas of life. It not only encompasses governments, sports, and the environment but religions as well.
Is there anywhere safe? Are we locked inside a giant mocking James Bond movie? People entrust their entire financial worth to one person? He entrusts it to another unbeknownst in one layer of deception upon another? And the catalyst for this greed, as it has in the past, always turns into instant fear.
It is obvious that there is a spirit enticing other attendant spirits in the minds of men. A theoretical physicist was heard on television to say he requires proof before he can believe something. Very little can be proved. Taking something for granted is more to the point. We take many things as proven later discovered to be something more than originally imagined.
It is common for the existence of unseen entities to be assumed from the seen. We have so little knowledge that it is microscopically dwarfed by all the knowledge yet to be known. We find ourselves continually forced to make decisions right now without all the facts.
What does that remind us of? Could it be faith? A sort of faith, which if unfed culturally and unacknowdged in the scientific arena, gradually turns into a harden ritualized world view staring into headlights? Davin
