The way I see it, what we are witnessing right now is nothing short of humanity’s collective shadow being unveiled. This is a good thing, because it shines the light of day on what has so far been kept in the closet and hidden in the sand. It is a necessary step if we are ever going to go beyond the greed and corruption that is systemic in this world, and create something better.
If anything has become apparent to me over the past five years it is this: we are on our own. There is no government agency or charismatic leader who will save us from the fruits of our actions. Our salvation is ours alone to make. To this end, it is everyone’s responsibility to confront their personal shadow, and do the work of freeing ourselves from its grip.
