8th arm: The greed for power and the apparatus necessary to maintain it requires enormous financial resources. In many countries, these can easily be obtained through the exploitation of natural resources. Whether it is diamonds, gold or crude oil – they have triggered the greed for our planet’s resources, regardless of the consequences. We can expect major wars to be fought over natural resources. This greed leaves only losers and toxic wastelands in its wake— once the process of ruthless overexploitation has begun, only dead industrial deserts will remain. Nowhere left to live for people, animals and flora; everything will be radioactive; contaminated water sources will leave us without the basis for survival. We will have finally succeeded. Greed, growing slowly until it reaches a point of no return, is capable of creating conditions that will make Earth uninhabitable: with it we will exterminate ourselves and very likely most other life forms as well.

9th arm:Is there a way out? A glance at the history of humankind suggests a solution, painful but feasible. But it requires the destruction of the current order. Great natural disasters and wars have destroyed or wiped out entire civilizations or forced them to migrate. In Europe, the consequences of the Second World War uprooted most people, stripping them of everything that was important to their social status. The devastating tsunami of 2004, which cost the lives of almost 250,000 people in Asia, succeeded in breaking up political fronts and entrenched power structures. Greed for beauty and fame, political power and the greed for raw materials were all washed away with the floods. Like a giant river ending in a waterfall that swallows up all of the abominations spawned by greed, then pulverizing them through the kinetic energy of the fall. Social differences are temporarily erased and a new beginning can come. Has anyone learned anything from this cycle? I doubt it...

| Hiding in the shade of a small rocky wall, this suricate escaped from being hunted. Its not alone, the friends are checking the area around and will signal as soon as they see predators. Standing in a piece of driftwood, itself the suricate is carved from mango wood. |
