I agree with the writer that money is both the cause of our problems and our way of dealing with that guilt ridden inner voice. Through societies dependence on the concept wealth, we have forced ourselves into a boundless impossibility. We will not, cannot give up what has become the foundation of our existence – Money. Yet, we will continue to damage our environments, both social and natural, and ourselves until we at least partial make this unthinkable sacrifice. There is no way out. We will not give up the obsessive consumption that drives us, and we cannot “buy off” the environmental devastation it causes.
I believe the writer purposefully ended the statement with a positive spin to leave the reader both scared and inspired. A combination that forces the reader to realize they need to change while reassuring them that it is not to late and they can make a difference.
