It's being demonstrated most clearly by the bankers. I hope we all stick with this issue and don't tolerate any bonuses this year or in the future other than for courageous behaviour to stem the "me first" culture.
Beware though it's going to be a tough ride.
If we stop our present bank culture we as a country could be in real trouble as, at the moment, we, our government depend on the revenue from our banking system and the stock market. This will mean even more hardship.
House prices need to come down - this will again affect our banking system with the danger of bad debts from those who loose the will to pay their mortgages on property that has a lower value than their loan - the temptation will be to do a runner.
The commodities market is a disgrace - the bankers use food as a way of having secure assets. They seek to keep the value of these foods high. As a result millions die because they can't afford to buy it.
This is referred to as "Silent Murder" - murders we are indirectly responsible for - it's our banking system and behaviour that causes the problem.
This was featured on the excellent Radio 4 news program which knocks the spots off the sensational/empty Television News programmes.
The uncomfortable fact is that there is enough food in the world to feed the total population twice over .
Yes twice, TWICE.
No wonder immigrants want to come here.
Now wonder foreigners want to blow us up for our corrupt selfish behaviour.
Lastly - for now we have all the political parties except the Greens stating that the only way out of our financial mess is by creating more jobs - sounds good.
How do we create these new jobs - by growth - repeated over and over by Cameron.
How do we achieve growth?
By plundering the scarce resources of our planet - it can't support this expansion - the resources are severely limited - so what happens:
1. China is grabbing all it can.
2. Prices will go up
3. Only the rich will be able to cope - which surprisingly could mean the poorest in Britain - us - because we are rich compared with much of the rest of the world.
Uncomfortable thoughts to dwell on but this is the real hard world we live in.
Now to something Cheerful - let's get some Flags up this Flag Festival it's important that we real people shed our greed and enjoy each other and what we can achieve for ourselves.
Somehow , however we've got to wrestle with the above and act positively.
It's not easy!
