Relationships
When it comes to relationships, are you and those around you ‘consumers-of’ or ‘investors-in’? Have you noticed that the more developed a society becomes, the more consumerist it’s practices? This leads to overconsumption, excessive production, a throw-away mentality and great waste. Humankind currently produces two billion tonnes of waste per year between 7.6 billion people. Perhaps then it is not surprising that littering and fly-tipping are common. Some would regard graffiti as litter whilst others call it art! Where are you on the approval-disapproval scale of littering and graffiti … or indeed on your approach to relationships? Yet sometimes graffiti like the one pictured can make powerful statements rather than throw-away remarks. The deeper question it provokes is about the quality of relationships that last because of significant inward investment rather than those which are merely consumed and discarded.
