Learning from Tolle

In our consumer society and economic structures there is only one measure of progress. It is always more. The endless growth desease. A dysfunction from the alter ego who wants more; obsession and attachment. Like Eckhart Tolle puts it in a very black and white way, it's the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is part.

Learning? In the attempt to improve our quality of life and to give our next of kin a better life than we had ourselves, we choose to define better in materialistic terms unaware of the fact that we are walking down the road of self destruction.

But there is hope. I'm only on page 37 so I'm reading on to find the eye openers to enable a deviation from the road with only one end goal.
