Achieving social balance is the key to maintaining a just and stable society

Many people believe we are heading for a society where the rich few will dominate a huge number of poverty stricken people, as this has already been happening, particularly over the last century, and has been exacerbated by the 2 world wars. However, contrary to the common view, this cannot go on, because nature requires balance in order to survive, and as this continues it will reach the point of imbalance where it collapses, possibly with catastrophic consequences, I say "possibly" because, once a trend is recognized, disaster can be averted by taking action to restore balance, and thereby avert any such dangers. Hence lets build a better planet, not by arguing with the ignorant, but by embracing those with radical ideas for seeking improvement, not for themselves, but for society as a whole, and helping them, supporting them and working with them in order to make it happen. That way we will all enjoy a better, more harmonious, peaceful, and most importantly stable and balanced world well into the future. This will not happen without it's challenges, and in particular the complacency that develops for those in cosy positions that seem to become more oblivious of what's going on in the world around them. Help them get in touch with what's going on in the real world outside their cocoons and they may begin to understand.

With the recent advent of pervasive IT/Internet, we now have the realisation of the "big brother" concept that had been feared by many before we got here, but they hadn't (at the time) thought of the power that enables the smaller communities "little brother" groups that are the ultimate force for good, and can contribute, and help create the conditions for us to move forward in achieving this balance we are seeking.
