Uncertainty again ......

Twenty years ago and the world had order or so we thought. The age of reason had come into it’s own. What started as a dialectic process in ancient Greece when Socrates exalted the power of reason to order a good life for all citizens, eventually blossomed into the Enlightenment of the 18th century and with it, the age of continuous progress had arrived. By the close of the twentieth century it appeared that history was over and the steady state world of human satisfaction was possible for all.

But into the first decade of the 21st century all that had vanished and a new dark age of suffering and fear had arrived. All the old maps and guidelines that gave navigation to our public and private lives had been torn up. We had to start all over again but we no longer knew the starting point or the destination. It seemed that we were all in uncharted territory.
