only during times of economic disruptions do people look at the false side of social inventions. it is ok to eat dirt and die. for so long, it was thought that life is good here but not there. either that or, quality of life is so good here, it must be heaven.
Now we realize that the world is not a box of chocolate. the fears we hide are the now the features that we live with.
we don't stop to look at the things around us. why not. stop the book and look at the not knowing.
