[center][b][u]Concept for a Main Character?[/u][/b][/center]

"The world is changing at an alarming rate. Everything seems to be running wild.

Industries. Corporations. Governments.

At times it seems that the world is in disarray.
Chaos almost.

But this chaos is unnatural. It has been manufactured by the global system. Its systemic!

The people that seem to possess the power - how do they sleep at night? How sociopathic do you have to be to qualify as a politician in this day and age?

Sometimes I think that the stress of the job gets to them. Sometimes I think that they are heartless and don't have a care in the world - just as long as they live comfortably. Not seeming to focus on the real issues, on the shit that actually matters! Isn't it what we elect them for?!
They are not accountable to the people! They are driven by something....and more often than not, it seems to be GREED!

Are ALL of them, heartless bastards?! Probably not. Some may have good intentions, but those good intentions get over-shadowed by egotistical maniacs. Megalomaniacs!

Look, I'm not saying everything is dodgy, some good can come out of a sit-down, negotiating a business deal, however..., it is their end goal where their true intentions lie! And sometimes, they keep part of their plans hidden, on the sly.

The truth comes out later when the damage is already done!

To protect whose interests? The treasuries?

Some parts of the world do seem to be more fortunate than elsewhere.

If....someone, was to get a decent education, have healthcare, you were to be considered, lucky, fortunate, rich! But what do you think?

I live in a place where we can afford material consumptions, clothes and food. We have decent technology, have access to the internet and most of us seem to be living longer....thanks to the advances of science.

However at times, it seems that the world doesn't know how to slow down! Corporations already are looking at 'where is it going next? How do we improve on already existing technology?' Sometimes they really are a bunch of cowboys, I mean, c'mon, hold your horses! Each year? Smarter tech gets launched! The new android phone, the latest iPhone, Ipad, Ipod from Apple!

We have 4G already. Now? They are already looking at 5G!

To what end? To what end?!

They are spending time and money on new resources....on new products that half of the world population will only buy when the price becomes more affordable for them!

Instead of improving on current technology within a year! How about use that time and money, well? Invest on current technology for the future, in say 20 years time when we will actually need it the most! Where we can utlise the technology for the better!

There are other parts of the world that are not so fortunate, living in harsh conditions, sometimes working in harsh conditions, poverty is rampant, they don't get paid well enough as we do! Despite disparity in some business circles, we have the legislation, they don't. They are malnourished, sometimes abused not only by their state, but by criminals. And on crime, crime is high, extremely high, as well as drug misuse, substance abuse and not to mention, poor mental health. And that is sad!

Poverty is also created in war or conflict. Yemen being one of the recent examples!
Notre Dame also went up in smoke and corporations donated millions for reparations. People were shocked, surprised and disgusted! Donating all that money to an organisation that does very little to alleviate poverty! An organisation that has more scandals under its rug, than say, Donald Trump himself.

Sometimes they have a point! And its sickening!

And then there is climate change on top of that! And just to think how all of these problems are affecting this earth! Do you think it has a positive impact?
In the midst of all this, people are probably just beginning to wake up, and that's great... because its your help we need the most.

Now. More than ever.

I can only hope that you get this message. Signing out."

They think that this genuine greed is actually

SELF PRESERVATION.

So a body would have to wonder...

\What makes them feel so DIFFERENT from the rest of us..

that if they can't scam the planet out of another ten trillion...

they are a genuinely poor soul?

@Platoscave Hence the rise of neo-liberalism, the rise of the individual. How well is that working out?

That Cathedral went up for the same reason bridges and highways collapse.

This is the Age of THANATOS.

Freud knew about that stuff.

@Platoscave I do feel like that perhaps there is something a lot more behind Notre Dame, but that could be a story for another time, but, this is something I have written through an imagined character that I don't know yet, but want to spend time getting to know and find out everything about this person. I must have felt to the core, that these were important issues to explore and clear already that I'm blending fiction with reality but at times it is better to start with what you know to begin with.
