Or are you on a treadmill with no plan?

Have you written it down, if you have one?

Have you stared your dark side in the face and talked to it?

What is your ‘dark side’?
Best answer I can think of…
The sum of your evolutionary behaviors that have negative effects usually on others but often, in reality, on ourselves.

Society often teaches us to behave in ways that are opposite to our basic instincts. And yes we do need to find ways to override instincts, but the primary message seems to be: ‘pretend that part isn’t there’. Particularly when society gives you few or no ways of overriding the instincts. Of course that is only ourselves interpreting the world, there are always more choices than are given us.

Do you converse with your dark side? Or do you pretend its not there?

Why do we have this dark hungry primate in us? - Evolutionary survival of the species.

Why is it done?
Cause it works, sometimes.

Remember Y2K, power outages, nuclear weapons being shot, all sorts of scare tactics. What actually happened:

A major electric company in US billed a few customers as if they hadn’t paid in years but no one was actually effected by it.
A furnace in South Korea stopped working due to a program bug.

How many billion dollars were spent on programming and other precautions?

How are scare tactics such as these affecting us as a society? Affecting others opinions of the western world?

Instead of reacting use times like that as a way to make money off the market or other method. But in no way create that atmosphere, it’s not good for humanity, not even our economy. Those methods only create short term gains.

The market is almost down to the level it would naturally have gone to had Y2K never happened.
