What if the dream is not a dream anymore?

"The sentiment now in the financial press is -- like that expressed by my banker correspondent -- that the US economy is indestructable."J.K.

They couldn't dream or fancy anything else.
Because otherwise it would be an economy's suicide.
What if some of us began to suspect that this kind of society is struggling to death, that all what they believed and planed is going to find its natural end?
What if suddendly you had the doubt that you cannot go on consuming more and more forever?
That whatever energy you can find, cheap and abundant, if you overuse it will anyway, sooner or later have an end?
What if we will have so many cars and so many roads that there is no place any more for any human?
So many houses that there is no place for a tree?
What if somebody found out that YES there is an alternative way of living?
That consumerism is good till a certain point, but it cannot go on forever and ever.
You cannot go on producing more and more, because people cannot go on consuming more and more.
Fun is getting boring.
Having more and more produces more and more problems.
Of storage or even worse of disposal.
What is too much IS too much.
What if you suddendly find out that it is utterly stupid to work 18 hours a day to have a new car, a new home, new clothes, when your old ones are still good and may be more comfortable?
That it is nicer to work less and enjoy life more.
That fun is not always spending, but doing the things you like and the things you really like sometimes cost nothing.
What if suddendly we found out that HAVING is much less fun than BEING?
