Magda Hassan Wrote:Martin, it would not surprise me in the least. And can certainly be read that way. I knew a man many years ago and his goal was to move in to selling water. He saw that as the commodity to invest in because there is no limit to what he could ask price wise (that is no limit to how rich he could get). He was a major dug dealer at the time and unsatisfied with the huge returns on that. The fact that there are people who have no qualms about exploiting access to a basic life supporting necessity is disgusting but a reality. Psychopaths love the power but they should be nowhere near it.
Agreed. Or should I say "a greed"? In the future water is predicted to be the most stunning asset rendering vast fortunes as the liquid of life lessens and becomes a much sought after resource. Something as essential to the maintenance of life as that should be managed for the good of all, and not become a resource for the uber wealthy to control.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
