We're like the Emperor in the Hans Christian Anderson tale - demanding yet more finery, a wish list of never-ending goodies and all at the expense of the welfare of the poor and the ill, so that waging war can be fully funded.
PLUS:
So that railways and buses can be replaced/duplicated with tramways.
So that we play our full part in funding war on Russia and the Palestinians.
So that buildings and facilities can be regenerated as a status symbol of extravagance and flaunted wealth.
BUT, it is all vanity and prestige to cover our naked selfishness and greed and empty thoughtlessness.
God/Nature had the first word in our creation and if we don't live in harmony with Him/her, we will be simply dispensed with.
But the Emperor is as naked as naked could be - and no-one tells him!!
