I slowly corrupt while you look on. You don’t know what to do, but who would? It is a sad situation, watching someone you where once close to slowly become unbearable. It is not your fault. What must happen will happen and nothing can stop that. Here is an excerpt from a song I like: The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world.
