I don't see a seperation between emotions and reason. We are emotional creatures and whether we admit it or not, emotion effects our logic and in turn our decisions.
I think humanity needs to recognize personal accountability for each individuals life. We may be engrossed in technology and machinery but it is the backdrop of our lives. You, I and everyone else is owed nothing. No one owes you a kind world, a safe world, a just and fair world, or a happy world. The responsibility falls of each of our shoulders to provide that kind of enviroment and we must be willing to create it. To understand that responsiblity is empowering.
An uprising or a return of power solely to the people will not happen because the people have democraticly choosen who they want in power. The standard of living is incredible compared to only one hundred or even fifty years ago. There are those who complain that despite having a stable enviroment, security (both financial and personal) and democratic power that they are unhappy. I feel these people are unwilling to do what it takes to become happy or find joy. It is not an easy matter but what more can you do then provide these people with an enviroment where they have the tools needed to create a good life. They must then take the next step and become responsible to creating for themselves in that enviroment, that which they want.
