Lack

There seems to be no lack of discontent and problems for many of the people of the world. Could this be attributed to our willingness to accept lack as the way it has to be for a significant percentage of the worlds' population?

Why do we expect so many to be content with a lack of:

• education
• good jobs
• a living wage
• affordable housing
• healthy diets
• clean water
• health insurance
• affordable medical health care?

The Nature Of Things

That which is lacking in the present world is a profound knowledge of the nature of things.

Trustworthiness

We in contemporary society witness a lack of trustworthiness in all areas and institutions of our lives:

• our electoral process,
• our government,
• our leaders,
• our courts,
• our political parties,
• our banking industry,
• our stock market,
• our marriages,
• our churches,
• our schools,
• our friendships,
• our investment plans,
• our educational systems,
• our corporations and companies,
• our loved ones,
• ourselves.

Whom can we trust?
