"Great nations rise and fall. The people go from
-bondage to spiritual truth,
-to great courage,
-from courage to liberty,
-from liberty to abundance,
-from abundance to selfishness,
-from selfishness to complacency,
-from complacency to apathy,
-from apathy to dependence,
-from dependence back again to bondage.”
Alexander Fraser Tytler
We follow the path of history, we know where it will lead, yet we do it anyway.

How true!
I have a similar vicious cycle, but it usually involved, diet/exercise, and my waistline/general well-being.
true, and the problem is, I am afraid we are one step from being returned to bondage. we are way past apathy, and well into the dependence phase.
