Greed is good

		Is it? Is it really?  Do we teach it? encourage it? revere it?  Greed takes hold of weak people and twists them into snarling sociopaths, shaped like human beings but missing some vital components of human existence such as;  integrity, community, ethics.   It is possible, initially, to be conned by the facsimile of humanity as it is presented but scratch the surface and that shell, which echoes with the cries of futility, stands bare in front of you.  Any endeavour, whatever its nature, will ultimately fail if it has at its core a selfish desire. The tragedy of the commons is no apocryphal parable, it is not solely an ancient moral, it is a truism.  It is a breach of a fundamental tenet of our existence that some amongst us defile to the detriment of all.

Nothing to Say

So I haven't written anything on my blog for a while. I suppose its because I don't feel I have anything to say.

“Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.” 

A "google" search attributed this to DH Lawrence. 


In this modern world, where the hive mind hums relentlessly, we don't need to rely on memory.  Social networking media informs our opinions, "massively multi-user graffiti site", wikipedia, is the first repository we all visit for our research. 


We are moving into a strange world where my claret coloured thoughts don't just meander aimlessly into the silent evening as I sip my Chianti - they get published, stark and glaring in their futility.
