Rising to the Challenge the Year December 2020 ® ON Stagevolume 10 • issue 5 2 00 Rising2 to the challenge the year was Chairman’s Note here is an odd arrogance that pervades the so-called enlightened species, the ‘educated’ man. He always Tknows better. Surely, an insignificant bug could be crushed under the superior infrastructure he has built around him over the centuries. The lessons learned in only a mite longer than a century of the huge damage done by a mere influenza strain, the misery caused by the HIV virus, etc., seem to have been forgotten. In addition to the untold tragedy mankind suffers of its own making, whether in the Middle East, in the areas around the erstwhile Soviet Union, and in vast tracts of many continents, the fury unleashed by nature is often due to our own contempt of our environment, on which trillions of every imaginable currency have been spent, combating these horrific plagues. If only enlightened leadership in powerful countries would establish armies for peace and powerful organisations with a preventive bent rather than expensive curative solutions, a fraction spent on steps taken to avoid or at least mitigate the present situation might see some light. But then, we have to open earlier than our medical advisors deem sensible. The economy has to tumble along, no matter the price. The age-old argument that the army has to march on its stomach now applies to everything. That the Wall Street or the Sensex just made another billion is far more relevant news than the opening of an academy of fine arts. An investment in teaching the quality of values is all unimportant compared to the company which just hit the jackpot converting an important commodity into some silly fashion object. Values, please.
