Separate, thinking of ourselves as investors, consumers, managers, owners and achievers, rather as than members of a human community, we experience sadness, anomie, weariness, and despair. To which an entire field of counseling, self-help, and pharmaceuticals are devoted. Deadened or enlivened we then return to play our part in Wealth Bondage, not happy, not fulfilled but motivated to do better. As living things among living things how can we not be sad as the ecosystems collapse, on a time scale that our children and grandchildren will endure, like a Biblical affliction? For this what cure? Hospice care from the age of 2.
