The Greatest Danger – The Deadening of Heart and Mind
From: Coming Back to Life
$1.70
perils facing life on Earth are so massive and unprecedented they are hard even to take in. The very danger signals that should rivet our attention, summon up the blood and bond us in collective action, tend to have the opposite effect. They make us want to pull down the blinds and busy ourselves with other things. Our desire for distraction supports billion dollar industries that tell us everything will be all right so long as we buy this car or that deodorant.
