Actually no! I'm just afraid we might get there ... after all that is
"development" as we define it, and which we all unquestionly accept.
Affluenza is getting all of us -- the illness of plenty, getting more
than we need and not knowing what to do with it.
We're on this roller-coaster that's taking us from being poor and
quite satisfied, to being affluent and perennially dissatisfied. So
when I say our kids might reach there one day, I feel sorry for them.
They would never know what they missed ... except for being able to
perhaps read books like "Domnic's Goa"! --FN
