Is anyone else apart from me utterly fed up of many aspects of modern life? I absolutely hate the western obsession with money/shopping/consuming/throwaway pop/celebrity culture/instant gratification...
No-one seems to respect anyone or anything any more and people murder each other for a mobile phone.....
I watched a programme the other day on happiness and it concluded that here in the west we cant be happy if we carry on the way we are going, with our obsession with money and the free market.
The prog cited Bhutan in the himalayas, where (if I remember rightly)government policy takes into account Gross National Happiness of the population, which I thought was amazing...
We could learn a lot from this approach....
Anyway, just had to get that off my chest, I get the feeling you guys will know where I am coming from....
And dont get me started on global warming/big 4 wheel drive cars.
