A progress trap is the condition human societies experience when, in pursuing progress through human ingenuity, they inadvertently introduce problems they do not have the resources or political will to solve, for fear of short-term losses in status, stability or quality of life. (Wikipedia)
How willing are we to make the necessary changes for our future survival?
Looking after ourselves, our health, others, their wellbeing, the planet, its sustainability.
Yet, it is so easy to escalate commitment in telling ourselves and others stories which will enhance our status, stability and quality of life.
The chase is on against time and oddities. We escape from the unsettling truth that the long term is doomed.
Until we burn out - Exhausted from rat race, the running, the short-term goals.
Breathe, Slow Down, Have a nice weekend.
And get back in the trap next week.
