.Today I will begin my thoughts for the future. You may agree and you may disagree. All I can say is that over the years I have been able to foresee many things, but as time goes by, no one remembers what I have said and neither do they care. So I have decided to publish my thoughts for our future, which are likely to happen without me being able to say ' I told you so!'
I will serialize it over the next couple of weeks and will publish one section at a time.I hope that you don't find it too boring.
Introduction
Everything
has a pattern and today is no different. What we are seeing at the moment are
conflicts, whether they are political, Terrorism, Economical, Social, Cultural.
All of
them are linked and a symptom of the changes that are occurring globally.
Let’s
take the global pattern I mentioned. When man came to be, he started to expand
in population. This population needed feeding, so they created hamlets, then
Villages and then Towns and then Cities. Up until this time the main focus was
creating enough food to feed everyone. Families became farmers, who then
invited friends to join the farming business.
Eventually,
these communities became so big that food and requirements became large enough
to enter another pattern.
At this
point, we start to enter into the Industrial pattern and the need to
standardize goods. This is the era where we became materialistic. This began
about 1780 AD when the first machines were invented. Then things began to
balloon. Hence the birth of the Manufacturing stages. This brought in large
buildings and assembly lines. As these grew, it brought in Management, which
then began the ‘chain of command’ which then brought in middle management and
senior management.
This
era, brought in people wanting to better themselves, by showing trophies like;
houses, cars, jewelry etc.
In
1950’s a new introduction was shown and this was the introduction of TV and
computers.
This
pattern is still in the current phase, but it is beginning to clash with a new
phase.
This
new phase is where my thoughts begin.
Don’t
be under any illusion, the new pattern we are entering will clash significantly
with the current pattern and the next phase will take over in a short period of
time.
The
global turmoil is part of the start of this clash.
We have
global unemployment, which causes population unrest through boredom, as well as
low esteem, having had secure jobs for many years.
We have
terrorism, which is caused by poverty, when others have riches. It’s very easy
to create unrest and , when people are finding day to day life a struggle. The
Taliban for example provide promises, religion, a culture and some compensation
for families.
We have
political unrest in many of the developed countries. Why? We can’t trust politicians anymore.
They
have proven to lie, they have proven to line their own pockets and as for
serving their electorate, these politicians are few and far between. Political
bodies are unelected and yet pass laws that we don’t want and certainly don’t
provide any benefit to us!
So
based on this I decided to think and read about the future and I decided to
share my thoughts with you.
There
has to be a global stewardship created and people will look towards personal
fulfillment.
We will
look for unity in economic and social justice, as the law becomes unmanageable
due to lack of resources. Leadership will include sharing local, national and
global affairs.
