Something inspirational:

“Turbulence is the only way to get altitude – to get lift. Without turbulence the sky is just a big blue hole. Without turbulence, you sink.”

  1. Although we have evolved beyond caveman ethics, it's still important to hear us roar, to serve and preserve humanity.

    The world is screaming right now (turbulence) to serve the greater good. Our social contract between the rulers and the masses historically have experienced turbulence.

    Everything happens for a reason.

    1. Thanks Tim. Yes, you and I believe everything happens for a reason.

      The reason is self-serving politicians, who care more about themselves, than they do the people they serve. The lesson we can take from that is that we must be more selfless and less self-absorbed and selfish.

      According to the Guardian and I quote: “Britain is governed by a self-involved clique that rewards group membership above competence and self-confidence above expertise.” (Source: theguardian.com)

      Although I cannot speak for other countries, it's looking like the world is looking rather similar. It's time to pull back, whilst we still can.
