"The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice

To gauge your Familycology tendencies, take this test...

Your children or grand-children are playing in the street, and you notice a truck is hurtling down upon them. You have enough time to save your children. What do you do?

a. Nothing. You're too busy worrying about your own problems.

b. You pray to your God to do the saving for you and them.

c. You do all you possibly can do to save your own flesh & blood.

Now imagine that your grandchildren and theirs are going to be victims of acid rain, ozone holes, etc. Plus imagine that your posterity is pleading with you to do more to save their ecology. What do you do to help them emerge from their emergency?

a. Too little or nothing. You're too busy worrying about your own problems.

b. You leave saving your flesh & blood to God (whatever "God" means to you.)

OR

c. You do all you can do to help others also understand that God (whatever "God" means to them) is NOT going to be saving their future generations until millions more of us are also doing more to save our own.

"The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.

And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to

change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds."

R. D. Laing
