Lurching from crisis to crisis

 

I am only guessing, but it seems to me, that very frequently individuals

will get into a pattern, in which they sort of stumble from crisis to

crisis.  In part, this might have to do with the heighted motivation

often experienced during a crisis.  When individuals do reach 

some kind of understanding about the causes of these crisis, 

there lurching into the crisis will undoubtedly decrease, 

although the lurching might not decrease.  You're just not 

lurching into a crisis, because you have eliminated the cause 

of the crisis in the first place.

So people do this all the time, and it definitely might

require some serious efforts to isolate and prevent some

those " variables " that will decrease these crisis,

but the results and the benefits to those individuals,

is generally significant.

Likewise, you will notice a pattern like this has also

been going on globally for at least 70 years.  Of course,

globally , we did a lot of lurching before that, just

considerably slower.

Now if you consider the U.S.A. alone and it's behavior,

particularly for the last 70 years, you will notice a

pretty similar pattern, going  from crisis, to crisis

although the lurching may be significantly different.

I think that it almost looks like , we are heading out

into the directions of crisis.  Whether this is totally

conscious behavior, or maybe something like a 

collective conscious, --- who knows ---, however

what ever the motions is, how you could describe it, we

seem to do a considerable amount of this, situation

of being in crisis, almost like a guy who works in

a light bulb factory runs into lightbulbs.  

Some people might suggest that , that is what freedom

is all about.  Sure, that might be true, but you

can not but reflect on the fact that usually these crisis

do not work out the way would might like them too,

and finally if running into a crisis all the time is " true

freedom ", then well, okay, but is does also seem

quite stupid, because we should very well be able

to anticipate these crisis, and therefore, attempt

to eliminate the inevitable causes of these crisis.

Maybe, another way of looking at this is, the previous

paragraph is " stupid " and therefore this kind of

running into crisis thing, is a " feature " of the

environment.  Okay, yes that may be true, but

it surely seems like if people have this experience

in there personal life, then shouldn't the same

kinds of processes or mostly systematic steps,

work  in ,kind of, the same way for larger

groups?  

Now to right this out as a formula would probably

be kind of difficult, but untimely in order to actually

do this , you must isolate those variables that

do cause these crisis, and then, you have to sort

a bit to determine where you get the best

resolutions to those difficulties you are

you are trying to eliminate.

And, again, what is the point.  Well, today, it

seems that we are even going faster than the 

lurching we had previously experienced. 

These days we tend to be " stumbling " from

one crisis, to another.  Simply put, stumbling

is several times faster than lurching.  And of

course , beyond that, the crisis we are encountering

these days,  are a bit larger, and a bit more frightening

than  , some of those, experienced, in the

more distant past.
