A Return to Bondage (No, Not That Kind of Bondage)
Summary:
Renowned Scottish jurist and historian Sir Alex Fraser Tyler once noted that the lifespan of the world’s great civilizations typically averages two hundred years, following a trajectory from bondage through various stages?"spiritual faith, courage, liberty, abundance, selfishness, complacency, apathy, dependence, and back to bondage. This progression prompts us to reflect on where we stand today.
Body:
Tyler’s observation resonates deeply, raising the question: Are we destined to repeat this cycle? If so, where are we now?
As a society, we seem to have moved past the defining concepts of bondage and spiritual faith. It’s arguable that we’ve also transitioned beyond courage and liberty, despite politicians often portraying us as being in that phase. Issues like NSA surveillance suggest otherwise, pointing to eroding civil liberties.
Once a nation of abundance, evidence such as the obesity epidemic suggests we still are, at least physically. However, my concern is that we are drifting into selfishness and complacency, verging on, if not already mired in, apathy. Consider the dramatic decay of infrastructure, erosion of liberties, and the neglect of cities like New Orleans post-disaster?"are these not signs of societal negligence?
Our growing dependence is evident in the outsourcing of jobs to countries like India and China for cheaper labor. Car manufacturing has shifted to Mexico, and the trucking industry shows signs of following suit. This drive for low-cost production compromises traditional middle-class jobs that once provided a good standard of living.
Amid debates on illegal immigration, we witness the gradual erosion of jobs that used to offer a living wage, health insurance, and retirement benefits. These roles are now outsourced to places with fewer safety and environmental regulations.
Further illustrating our dependence is the reliance on foreign oil. We've surpassed the two-hundred-year mark by thirty-one years?"are we courting the return to bondage?
