I couldn’t agree more... Unfortunately this is the very problem, “values”, because the incredible energy produced by anomic energy is indeed useful when it is huddled with care and there is no violence in between.
It really doesn’t matter now if we are communists or capitalists, or from such or such party, this menace is well beyond personal inclinations to political ways of leading the world, it is about our “HOUSE”, where we live in... the world... What we are supposed to do after a few of these bombs are released? I mean, releasing them is not a solution to anything because it is a suicide. Are we so unconscious to do it even in such an event? Unfortunately, as long as we can see so far, we are... We are capable of doing it even if it doesn’t make sense. It has been done many times already.
Politics no longer matter, parties, ideologies, it is a basic survival issue we are facing here.
Today anybody can be powerful, even if it has not human values and principles. If you work hard based on a good luck and lots of money background, or if you are a fox, intelligent enough to deceive people in vast scales, you can become a powerful man, and so influence the world. This is the problem with money. When money didn’t exist, people would interchange things and that would keep things into a harmonious equilibrium, there was a clear limit of “usability” on what you could have, but today we find there are extremely reach people that do nothing with their money, just having it in their banks to feel comfortable and secure, some of them use it in the jet set society, which is also quite silly. This is not a communist idea, I don’t believe at all in communism personally, but a simple idea taken from our ancestors of thousands of years ago. This happened for instance, between the Vikings for a long time, till money started to show, the same in the ancient dynasties of China. In those early days, a rich man was somebody who could have lots and lots of things to interchange, but there was a clear limit, and the limit was to “USE” those things, this is quite natural I think, as it is directly related to what you can produce.
Covetousness and thirst for power is going to spoil the entire game of live in the Earth I think, if we go on and on with this incredibly childish thing. And only because there here extremely powerful people that being blind with their power, want more and more and infinitely more power... it seems they will never feel satisfied till they destroy their on habitat.
In the other hand, if these atomic disasters really take place, we are going to be forced to finally put a stop to so much cruelty and madness among us, sadly, through the wrong means. We will finally understand that life should have been different, and values will change completely for us. We will find that the most important things in life, the truly important ones are love, friendship, sincerity, family, spirituality, union between people and nations, and so forth, and the others values that today seem to be so popular, will become weak and futile.
