		<description>In response to your post about economics, soul, consumerism, happiness and environmental crisis I want to post a part from my article which examines the impact of consumerism/ industrialization on our minds and environment. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;B&gt;The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues.&lt;/B&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;B&gt;Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment.&lt;/B&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Subject : In a fast society slow emotions become extinct. &lt;BR/&gt;Subject : A thinking mind cannot feel. &lt;BR/&gt;Subject : Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys the planet. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If there are no gaps there is no emotion. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Today people are thinking all the time and are mistaking thought (words/ language) for emotion. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;When society switches-over from physical work (agriculture) to mental work (scientific/ industrial/ financial/ fast visuals/ fast words ) the speed of thinking keeps on accelerating and the gaps between thinking go on decreasing. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;There comes a time when there are almost no gaps. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;People become incapable of experiencing/ tolerating gaps. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Emotion ends. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Man becomes machine. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A society that speeds up mentally experiences every mental slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A ( travelling )society that speeds up physically experiences every physical slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A society that entertains itself daily experiences every non-entertaining moment as Depression / Anxiety. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Fast visuals/ words make slow emotions extinct. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys emotional circuits. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A fast (large) society cannot feel pain / remorse / empathy. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A fast (large) society will always be cruel to Animals/ Trees/ Air/ Water/ Land and to Itself. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;To read the complete article please follow either of these links : &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.planetsave.com/ps_mambo/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&#038;Itemid=75&#038;func=view&#038;id=68&#038;catid=6" REL="nofollow"&gt;PlanetSave&lt;/A&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.earthnewswire.com/index.php?option=com_forum&#038;Itemid=89&#038;page=viewtopic&#038;t=11" REL="nofollow"&gt;EarthNewsWire&lt;/A&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;sushil_yadav</description>

<p><b>The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues.</b> </p>
<p>The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature. </p>
<p><b>Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment.</b> </p>
<p>Subject : In a fast society slow emotions become extinct. <br />Subject : A thinking mind cannot feel. <br />Subject : Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys the planet. </p>
<p>Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking. </p>
<p>If there are no gaps there is no emotion. </p>
<p>Today people are thinking all the time and are mistaking thought (words/ language) for emotion. </p>
<p>When society switches-over from physical work (agriculture) to mental work (scientific/ industrial/ financial/ fast visuals/ fast words ) the speed of thinking keeps on accelerating and the gaps between thinking go on decreasing. </p>
<p>There comes a time when there are almost no gaps. </p>
<p>People become incapable of experiencing/ tolerating gaps. </p>
<p>Emotion ends. </p>
<p>Man becomes machine. </p>
<p>A society that speeds up mentally experiences every mental slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety. </p>
<p>A ( travelling )society that speeds up physically experiences every physical slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety. </p>
<p>A society that entertains itself daily experiences every non-entertaining moment as Depression / Anxiety. </p>
<p>Fast visuals/ words make slow emotions extinct. </p>
<p>Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys emotional circuits. </p>
<p>A fast (large) society cannot feel pain / remorse / empathy. </p>
<p>A fast (large) society will always be cruel to Animals/ Trees/ Air/ Water/ Land and to Itself. </p>
