Stories Of Belonging [article of the month]

by Helena Norberg-Hodge from Counter Currents. This month's must read! 

The article contains so much wisdom that it needs no commentary from me. 
Realising that it's not human nature that is to blame, but rather an in-human system is actually inspiring. Looking at the bigger picture in this way is essential to effecting long-lasting change; it can also help us to realise that the same economic policies that are breaking down community are destroying our environment. As more people become aware of this, we are seeing broad-based support - from social as well as environmental movements - for a fundamental shift in direction.
