It seems like we are living in very chaotic times. War and destruction, catastrophe and death, torture, murder, poverty, crime, terrorism, hunger and desperation are so widespread that even the most wealthy can hardly enjoy their luxuries any more.  Even the the most greedy corporations are no longer able to enjoy their profits. Environmental destruction is creeping  up to their very doorstep. People are beginning to notice that  everything is connected  and the parts are only as good as the whole. Maybe this will lead to more concern for environmental protection and intelligence will replace greed as a long-term strategy.
