Inner & Outer Growth & The Power of Community
The need for growth is encoded in the human being. However traditional cultures – especially eastern ones, the American Indian and some ancient western cultures focused a lot more on inner growth. The obsession with outer growth today has led to the materialistic economic system which is destroying natural resources which in the long run are the source of life.
The modern economic system has also severely eroded the power of community to offer a secure, fulfilling and meaningful life to humans – driving them even more to seek these in consumerism, in possessions and achievements that continue to destroy the delicate ecological balance of our planet, as well as a balance of inner and outer growth for humans.
