Progress?

Progress?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pagedooley/3191664147/Every place I turn is commentary of some kind focusing on new changes for the New Year, but looking around it’s hard to believe in them.

In a recent Rules post I shared something I sincerely believe, it’s about progress, not perfection, but I haven’t seen a lot of progress lately anywhere in the world.

  • 99% of politicians of all flavors rant on spouting their preferred ideology, with no real concern for the citizens of whatever country they represent.
  • As we learned, too many financial CEOs were made of ego and greed and the skill to mislead, but it seems that attitude is spreading to companies of all sizes, as well as individuals, in a trickle-down effect.
  • More and more people are willing to bend the rules and/or lie to achieve their ends.

While I accept that progress often involves several steps backwards to those taken forward, what’s happening is ridiculous.

Progress should mean a net positive after doing the math.

Or is that another of my out-of-date attitudes?
