Is it a no-win game?

What happens when an irresistible force does not meet an unmovable object? What do we do when all the changes we are capable of are insufficient to solve our problems and those changes that would save our asses are beyond our vision/will-power/courage?

What happens when only the scientific problem solving methods would solve our problems, but we don’t know what it is and, if we do, we don’t know how to use it?

What happens when religion is practiced by rote, without living its essence of forgiveness, love, sharing, modesty, turning the other cheek?

What happens if we talk endlessly about the need for action, but we seldom act, and when we do, we act against our own professed principles and our own laws?

What happens when we close our minds to things we don’t want to hear and restrict our vision to our own backyard, ignoring the interconnectedness of the whole species and the Planet?

What happens when we refuse to think in terms of basic principles?

What happens when we drown ourselves in detail and ignore the structural elements?

What happens when we resent TRUTH?

PS. What happens when we forever want to eat and have our cakes?

Time's up!

Answer to the quiz:

"Nothing happens".

The world stays exactly the same, heading in exactly the same direction.
