State of Affairs

Its sometimes gets intimidating to the point of scariness, looking at the state of the affairs of the world generally and our nation specifically.... what else could explain the greed and deceit which governs today’s times. The whole talk of consumerism has had profound changes in the physic of the people more so in the developing nation and the fallout is for all to see. Just mere cursory glance at the teeming mall, and standing in the midst of human splurge made me wonder about the direction we are taking, and where will this greed to consume more and more lead us to.......and then I wonder the relevance of the word consumerism and how aptly it has led to the consumption of values, ethical practices and moral uprightness. How the whirlwind of consumerism has not spared anyone, from the so called common man to the rare breed of our public servants..and we all have witnessed the recent episode so widely televised....
Cheers to our growing appetite of consumption.......
