Before the Overdose: Addressing America’s Moral and Financial Crisis
Some people might say that the drug addict or alcoholic went too far when they finally overdose but this would be incorrect. The moment they went too far was when they attempted to cover over inside pain with an outside substance. The overdose was just the inevitable result of that first terrible decision.
Such is the path of our countries financial situation. Some are waiting for the dollar to collapse and until that day, it’s just business as usual but this would be foolish. The problem fundamentally started in 1913 when we decided that it was better to commit fraud by creating more dollars than gold. Since then we have seen wars, depressions, inflation, corruption, infighting, division, and the breakdown of entire communities. All this is point to the collapse of society which seems all but inevitable at this point.
What to do? Just as the addict must discover inner joy and peace in order to heal the inside pain, society must discover inner wealth in order to remedy feelings of poverty, greed, and temptations to theft and fraud.
There are plenty of authors and philosophers who have provided tremendous work in this arena.
