Sir.. this post made me realise why i keep on reading the rest of your posts. My thesis is on the topic: "violence and the lucifer's effect"
If you havent, do read the book by Philip Zimbardo on Lucifer's effect where he explains how good apples when put into bad barrels(systems) turn bad. He did a research in 1970s and it was proved when 2004 images of Abu Ghuraib prison torture were released...
I cant agree with you more on this. Peoplelike to admire concept of synergy from a distance but not many are ready/ like to be in that position. When under immense pressure, we go with the flow and that is sad. I like to "be the change i want to see in the world" but everything comes with a cost...we know things starting from monsanto,GMO that we are feeding our kids with to the tax we pay that is the very cause of "certain country"s warfare economy..we are all in this together. I like to marginalise myself from the big norms that are part of the problem to be part of the solution but it is such a long and tiring battle. Truth used to be the ultimate answer but now it has become the biggest conspiracy. I think its about time I become an official "conscientious objector" wherever it may require.
Also, I wrote an article on Syria (who is fighting and why) but the editor dumped it and said, nobody is willing to hear so much truth. Dear Sir @wwf can you take a look at it?
