RE: Age Of Abundance: The War That Is Brewing
I think you are right. And the task for many of us is to be ready for the change.
Are we ready for a life where we don't have to work, where it's not those who strive the hardest who are the most rewarded?
I think some are, and some will live it as another financial crisis, just much bigger than the last one.
Because when we don't have to compete for paid jobs because abundance is everywhere, then what is life about?
Inner peace, sharing, patience, creativity would be some of my main answers, but others surely have different and just as valid ideas.
And it will be very interesting to see how these ideas can co-exist in the abundance economy.
Even more critical....how do we deal with our identity when it isnt tied to our profession.
The first thing people ask is "what do you do for a living"? Most tie their self worth to the jobs.
This will be as big a change for many as what to do with the time.
I guess the new question will have to be "what do you enjoy doing?" instead of which job title you hold.
I guess were going to see a lot of hobby gardeners growing their own tomatoes suddenly...
Or it simply could be "what have you gotten done" or "What have you started lately". But hey, I was never realy into this system in place now, so I have thought that I'm propably first of a next generation, generation that want's to get things done unlike those "in labor or out labor" slobs.
