I think that it boils down to the old balance. Good and bad. I would have to say that at this time, the bad is prevailing in an unimmaginable way, but only because it donned the mask of good.
It seems that every bit of good that is done is capitalized on which is bad. Then when bad is done, it is still capitalized on, which is also bad. The greed of the world has discovered how to gain the upper hand in some enigmatic way regardless of the good or bad that has occurred to assist it.
All of the information/disinformation that is at our disposal is at times overwelming. It must be searched objectively, or you will be consumed by the depths of the metaphorical "rabbit hole".
I think revolution is inevitable, the scale of the revolution is truly the question. Will a nation stand against the greed that corrupts all organizations and defiles their agendas? No, because the majority of that nation doesn't see the symbiotics of greed and capitalism. They don't even realize that the standard of living in America is an illusion that can be turned off at any time.
The majority won't put up a fight, just in the hopes of having their standard of living sustained. A few of us fully know and understand that it is not sustainable, we will be the ones to revolt, but I believe we will be crushed easily.
The rest will realize all too late.
It just seems impossible, and I hope I am wrong.edit on 12-7-2011 by Bobaganoosh because: elaboration
