A question of spiritual growth ?steemCreated with Sketch.

I find myself today asking the question, is humanities only way forward at this point one of not economic or monetary growth but spiritual ?
It seems too me we have taken this economic, monetary system to its limits, and its reached its natural conclusion .
Why do i think this ?
If your paying attention to world events you cant but help being depressed with goings on in the world perpetual war, global corruption seems rampant, global warming which know one seems to worried about despite scientist dire warnings about methane.
but i'm not going into those subjects today, today i want to high light the humanity and the systems we use to govern our everyday lives.
Money .. yes that necessary evil our system of exchange. which effectively runs our world i do x you pay me money so i can bye food and shelter etc etc
too me the Monetary system has reached its only logical conclusion, you see its a greed based system the more you have the more you can do and more comfortable your life will be .
thus those that are most without compassion and love for others the planet and the most desire to obtain , will ultimately obtain the most, hence a "success" bye the systems standards .
Hence why i think the monetary system has reached its end game, we have almost destroyed the planet we rely on to survive a few have more wealth than 99 percent of everyone else and corruption of the system is systemic.
The only way forward is a new system based on i say spiritual growth ... for want of a better term
why not base a system on rewarding people for achieving great things for humanity or environmental achievements we desperately need to move away from this greed based system to something more balanced.
we could do it
the only problem i think we need a spiritual evolution and i don't think humanity is quite ready yet ?
ready or not it is coming the monetary system is on the point of collapse
this is the greatest opportunity in human history to replace this destructive system, with what im uncertain but it needs to be something that rewards true greatness and selflessness not greed and eviromental destruction for monetary gain.

Great post and with this truthfully to some a lot but others even me the many times believe this is just the tip of the iceberg there are more issues than answers at least the attempted ones. In short if the most important things aren't pursued Environment poverty wars etc each being as important equally then #2 will never add too #1. Equilibrium through a equalized world will transpire into a monetary of great proportion to us and the world we live on. All the best to you @privy
