People with Obsession Part 2.
Obsession however is all consuming, it destroys like the volcano and then implodes on itself. Is it obsession that drives us as a world? Obsession and greed that hand in hand walk through the world burning, pillaging to feed it’s need, it’s hunger? Here in the UK the news today is full of suicide bombers (fuelled by faith and driven by irrational belief) war atrocities (fuelled by greed, driven by hunger) retribution (fuelled by pain driven by pride) and the world-wide economic downturn (fuelled by greed driven by obsession?)
So what, I hear you yawn from the back row. Well, whilst we talk of managing our obsessions, what of humility? Increasingly people in the public eye are struggling to be humble and to say sorry, whether it’s the BBC over the Russell-Brand phonecall debacle or Hackney Local Authority over the death of Baby P. or the crush of people in job centers.
Humility, the art of being humble seems too bitter a pill for most to swallow. When did you last ‘eat humble pie?’ Oh okay, well good for you.
