Looking at The Big Moral Question
Monday, June 30th, 2008
Peak Moment 116: “What’s going to happen to our kids?” When Bruce Anderson read “The Limits to Growth” in the 1970s, he learned that nothing in nature grows forever — including the human economy. As we rapidly use everything up, we’re now reaching those limits and entering a crisis of adaptation. He raises the moral, ethical and emotional aspects of a challenge humans have never faced before. He feels we’re up against limitations of thought, of the heart, almost at a mythic level. He asks: Can we mature from our childish consumerist narcissism to compassionate adulthood? Will our inbuilt caring for our children propel us to quickly take action so they have a future? While facing what’s before us, how can we keep our spirit and heart alive, not succumbing to denial or despair? [www.forthefuture.org]
