Economic Growth Model - Biggest Mistake Ever!

The Economic Growth Model that we have been educated into and conditioned to believe as the only way to live on this planet, has become the biggest mistake, failure and disaster ever to be witnessed by the human race.

An economic model of life that teaches and encourages humanity to consume indefinitely, with no regard whatsoever to the delicate relationship with the environment upon which humanity depends in order to survive, has to be the most immature and irresponsible philosophy imaginable, as are the people who continue to promote this model – the politicians and policy makers. These are the people who have been elected to positions of leadership and authority in order to best serve us! In reality they are blinded into the economic growth model and become solely concerned with short-term gains and immediate profits for themselves and the few who wish to hoard as much material wealth as is possible. These are the most foolish of all for they haven’t realised that without a planet that continues to support their ability to stay alive, all the status, wealth and treasure in the world is completely useless!

Remember that the Economic Growth Model is just a model, that’s all. And one that has now proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it does not serve 99% of humanity or the environment and planet upon which we all depend. It simply serves those few short-sighted, narrow-minded, childish, irresponsible, egotistical, superficial, power and wealth-hungry individuals who want everything for themselves, just like spoilt little children who never learned to consider others in their choices and without realising that if they keep taking everything then eventually there’ll be nothing left for themselves either. Wake up and grow up!

Therefore, it’s just a man-made model that didn’t work for the majority of people or their lasting wellbeing… and one that has definitely outlived its “sell by date”. It is now time to consider and implement quickly newer models of living – ones that actually work! Instead of a model that damages that which we depend on to the point where life for every person, animal, water source, tree and plant is completely threatened, we use a model that allows us to grow and express ourselves whilst at the same time work alongside or even enhance the natural world that supports all of life, then not only the minority can continue to benefit but everyone and everything! Plus future generations will receive a chance of living a healthy and worthwhile way of life, in other words… humanity can continue - your children, your grandchildren and great grandchildren will all get a chance at living a healthy and beautiful life.

Continuing the same is no longer an option! Leaders, policy makers, politicians, governments, economists, educators, teachers, industry have all truly and catastrophically failed us! It is time for people everywhere to wait no longer for others to take the lead; it is now our responsibility to begin steering this world in the only logical and healthy direction possible. Only we can do it, only we can take the lead to a better world. You are not alone, we are all in this together, everyone is equal and everyone has indeed a significant part to play in this transition and in the changes that are coming. It is time to be brave, time to be united, time for us to steer this planet in the only direction that makes sense and the only direction that our future generations would like us to lead it.

Mother Earth belongs to all of us. It’s time to get her back!
