1st arm: Hansel and Gretel stand looking around curiously. They don’t recognize their surroundings. There’s a fence around the forest because an investment company is planning on creating a golf club and leisure center here. And a nearby industrial area on the outskirts of town is already beginning to take its toll on the forest. The pollution produced by these industrial plants has already damaged the trees’ roots; many will not survive. This gives the investors a good excuse to cut them all down. Greedy poachers set traps for the few remaining forest animals and some die an agonizing death. The foxes worry about their coats of fur, will they soon be made into fashionable coats for humans? A badger hardly dares to leave his den, asking himself whether it might not perhaps be better to be a mole. The trees view everything that approaches their habitat with suspicion, nearly everything could turn out to be a threat. Nearly starving in the forest, Hansel and Gretel see a land of plenty just beyond. It smells of fried foods, sausages and everything they could possibly imagine.

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...
