Some brave and determined people are beginning to get people to rethink the values of our society.
The Haves are beginning to discover what they have is valueless and the Havenots that they have what really matters.
We need to re-evaluate our basic premises so that quality of life becomes our most important asset.
At Christmas both quality and rubbish rub shoulders so that we can reflect on which is important to us.
For the Haves, we/they had better be prepared for a rough ride as there are many issues coming to the boil.
Will we be able as a society to cope?
Cameron tries to make us think that our boat is steady and we've set a course for stability.
I don't believe a word of it.
Our basic needs will be challenged in the next few years, each subsequent year being more challenging than the previous one.
Time for a deep rethink.
New values and thoughts need to occupy our minds this Christmas.
At bit of escapism is a good thing but only if it helps us achieve the making of difficult decisions in the long term.
I suspect that there is a lot of wisdom to be found in John Gray's book , "Straw Dogs" which I've bought and is sitting by my side. Time to stop walking round the dog basket and face up to reading it.
