The overview of the 10 questions highlight points issues we should be grappling with. I am convinced that as we discover and craft answers, so our present lives will be impacted by the way we live into the future. I am intrigued by question 8. The Future Question: What is our vision of the future? Within both the "worse & worse" and the "better & better" camps people are loosing sight of reality. The "worse" people ask, "Why bother doing anything if the world is going down the drain anyway?", whereas the "better" people would claim, "Let us do everything, because then the world will not go down the drain!" I feel that a valuable approach towards moving into the future is wholeheartedly engaging towards a better future in the midst of understanding that some aspects are still going to get worse. Rudolf Dear Graeme,

Within both the “worse & worse” and the “better & better” camps people are loosing sight of reality. The “worse” people ask, “Why bother doing anything if the world is going down the drain anyway?”, whereas the “better” people would claim, “Let us do everything, because then the world will not go down the drain!”

I feel that a valuable approach towards moving into the future is wholeheartedly engaging towards a better future in the midst of understanding that some aspects are still going to get worse.
