Something To Think About

Is it our craving for news that distorts reality? Prior to the Copenhagen Summit, society's response to climate change and peak oil were deemed to be critical to our future wellbeing. Now, it barely makes the front pages. Is the Icelandic volcano still active? I could "google" it to find out, but when I booked to go to Austria later this month, no-one drew my attention to the possibility of disruption by volcanic ash.
Being consistent in our understanding of what is important is a virtue that Jesus prized, being fickle a thing he warned against: "To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the market-places and calling out to others "We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge and you did not mourn." (Matt 11:16-17)
