I think it is a very crucial article showing our present attitude, hopes.

I think our recent history is all about stories, we live a Hollywood movie with all its ups and downs, and still with our belief in a guaranteed happy ending.

Just look at the stories we are facing day after day on the front pages, or on TV, personalities, emotional adventures picked by very sensitive and refined tweezers to keep us entertained, keep us glued to the papers and the screen. These stories cover all our human activities from films, celebrities, personal tragedies to the depth of economics and scientific research.

The problem is stories by themselves only inflate bubbles, create expectations, emotional states, and they can undoubtedly give an initial motivation, driving fuel but these bubbles deflate or burst unless some reality, some real material is injected into them.

But we no such reality today.

Our whole human system is simply a story, a dream, and illusion.

We have lost all contact with our natural foundations, we want to live above the clouds.

We live in a closed and finite natural system and even within this natural system humanity has evolved into a global and integral compact in full interconnections and interdependency.

These two characteristics of our present living conditions are in total opposition with the polarized, isolationist, exploitative, constant growth paradigm, pursuing ruthless competition against each other.

The whole crisis, the problems, impending catastrophes all over the globe we cannot hide, or beautify any longer, should be like alarm bells ringing.

We are already late with waking up from our dreams, we cannot drag more and more fairy tales into our lives we have to stand with both our feet on the ground again, and start building a human system that is real.

The happy ending is not guaranteed at all, in this movie we are the actors and we are the director too. Unless we start consciously and wisely changing the course of the movie based on the real-life conditions we live in, the ending can be very far from what we hoped for.
