Making sense of the 'big picture' helps the small parts


It is only when we can make sense of the “big picture” view of life that the smaller parts of what is a truly complex jigsaw begin to fall into place.

Richard Heinberg
Richard Heinberg, writing in his 2012 edition of Muse Letter, takes us through some big picture images with his piece “The Fight of the Century”.

Heinberg is well-known for his thoughtful pieces on the unfolding difficulties the world faces through energy depletion and an imploding economy.

His February musings are long, especially in a world in which shorter concentration spans are encouraged, and thoughtful, something that again is not encouraged by the ‘responsible men’ of the modern world, but is well worth the 30 minutes, or so, it will take to read it.

However, its value is not to be found in its simple reading rather, it is something that needs serious consideration and, hopefully, some resultant action.
