In search of knowledge.

It’s greed, greed and more greed. That’s the problem.  With capitalism. Too much wealth in the hands of a relatively few shrewd and greedy manipulators of the system. The desire for some to become obscenely rich. It’s insatiable. Often, but not always, at the expense of the common good. And who’s to say what economic system serves society’s best interests? I’m inclined to favor socialism. But that, too, can be manipulated by the greedy. Maybe we are all greedy. To some extent. In different ways. The solution may be to change human nature. An impossible task. So we live with what we’ve got. Donald Trump. For now. Is that any better than Hitler or Stalin? Anyway, I plead ignorance.  And readily admit to having no viable solutions to political, social (moral) and economic problems.  Other than to grumble. And to get on with life. In my cozy cocoon.  Venturing out. Occasionally. In search of knowledge. Most times, I find my happiness. From within my refuge. My inner sanctum.  --Jim Broede
