Why is the world like a house of cards falling apart?

Yes, the world, like a house of cards, is falling to pieces, shattered and humiliated.
But, why?
To my mind, the first culprit is called: HYPOCRISY and the Faking Politicians!
Hypocritical Leaders Make Poor Leaders
They are leading the world to catastrophe

Authenticity In Politics and International Relations Matters More Than Ever—Here’s Why
Let me highlight this with one, simple, but significant, example:
Australia in many people’s eyes, is the number one climate crisis, global warming denier, setting itself and the world on fire.
Catastrophic Australian Bushfires

Many different regions in Australia were devastated by the enormous bushfires of 2019-2021. Billions of animals including koalas and kangaroos were killed or displaced and thousands of homes were destroyed.
Smoke from the massive bushfires that hit Australia in the 2019-20 summer was linked to more than 445 deaths. Whilst, more than 4,000 people were admitted to hospital due to the smoke.
With costs approaching $100 billion, the fires are Australia’s costliest natural disaster

Australia’s Shame and Degradation of Humanity

Australia is also amongst the world’s worst human rights’ abusers and deniers. Beginning with its treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and more recently with its criminal policies regarding incarceration and detention of refugees and asylum seekers in Manus and Nauru Islands and more.
Manus Island - A movie secretly shot inside former asylum camp
The predicament of detainees on Manus Island and Nauru has largely been ignored. But two Iranians have documented their misery for the celluloid.
"Chauka, Please Tell Us the Time" is a documentary film secretly shot by an Iranian asylum seeker in a former asylum detention camp on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island.
Then on the eve of COP26, Britain (the host of Cop26) and the US, reward Australia with weapons of mass destruction, whilst telling Mother Nature to go to hell and instead begin to prepare for the upcoming war with China!

…’The pact also speaks volumes about western hypocrisy over nuclear proliferation. Courtesy of the US, Australia will acquire sophisticated technology, off-the-shelf reactors fuelled by enriched uranium, and the latest know-how.
‘This transfer breaks international rules and shatters anti-nuclear taboos. It plainly opens the door to an Australian nuclear weapons capability. Beijing will surely find painful ways to hit back over what President Xi Jinping calls interference in the “internal affairs of this region”.
‘Shattered, too, is western solidarity in the Indo-Pacific in countering Chinese aggression. The EU published a new regional strategy last week. It favours “multifaceted engagement”, not an American-led arms race. What would the US do – what would Israel – if Iran, bypassing the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, suddenly decided to nuclearise its military capabilities? They’d go nuts. Shouting would likely be followed by shooting…’- Simon Tisdall:Making waves in the Pacific

Then, today, the self-declared “emperor” of Manus and Nauru, has the audacity of saying that, he has bigger fish to fry in Australia, and thus, he is not sure if he wants to travel to Scotland attending the COP26. Thus, for now, this “emperor” has no clothes!
If this is not hypocricity par excellence, then, what is it!! There you have it! Now we all know why the world is, as it is today!! In total mess!!

“A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone's knowledge of himself and the world around him.“ — Dylan Thomas

‘Life is a wonderful journey
You learn so much from it
One moment of sadness on your face
Another moment your face is lit
The journey of happiness and joy
Feeling helpless is also a part
You get many opportunity here
Even if you do not make a start
There is so much to learn in life
There is so much to give
Do not live your life in regret
Give whatever you wish to give
Do things that make you happy
That is what life is all about.’-Poems About Life
In May 2020, in the midst of the first COVID-19 lockdown, my feelings and emotions were playing up with me. Sadness and despair had consumed me. I was here, I was there, but I was nowhere. It was especially painful not seeing our family and friends, our beautiful sweet little princesses, our granddaughters.
Then, I remembered my childhood. I remembered my late father. When he was sad or happy, I recalled, he turned to the wisdom and the inspiring words of the great Persian philosophers of love, the sages and poets, Sa’di, Hafez, Rumi, Ferdowsi, Khayyam, Ganjavi and more.

Hope is the torch that shines light on the plague of darkness
A path to spiritual enlightenment and hope to heal and nurture our Mother Nature
Bereshit’ by Yoram Raanan
‘God planted a garden in Eden. (Genesis 2:8)
The name “Eden” means “delight.” In the Garden of Eden “the gold of the land was good” and the earth shone with gemstones. All the waters of the world are said to have originated in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were surrounded by rivers that flowed with the knowledge of God, and they could see from one end of the world to the other. It is said that the earth is one- sixtieth of the Garden of Eden.’-Yoram Raanan
The Garden of Eden has since ancient times been imbued with powerful symbolism and layers of meaning. It is both a boundary and a crossing point, a metaphor for spiritual rebirth and salvation, a shared resource and a source of holy water and life. It is the same with our GCGI spiritual values, meaning and work, waters that quench our real thirst and awaken us to the miracles available in every moment, every day, in all we do and hope for.
