Mankind has a few points of reference only. Birth and death are undeniable
reference points in mankind s nature. Further points of reference
throughout history are: the game for power, money and women. All three
can act as an addiction. The actual sustainability of society is exposed best
in political decisions. Although rational and legal approaches teach how
things apparently work, in practice emotions and feelings play a governing
role. More than ever mankind is confronted with political and allegedly legal
decisions, often with a predictable expiration date, connected to timely
information. Information is inevitably connected to energy in an arbitrary
type or form. Energy is the beginning and end of all life and all processes,
whatever its origin. Each observation is the representation of an underlying
concept or event. We analyze the conditions and driving forces, which
determine reliability and sustainability of decisions, the outcomes and the
consequences of a decision process. One of the most intriguing questions still
is: what is the basic driving force of human behavior? Is it power, money,
greed or sex? Clearly, sexual behavior is a built- in driving force by the law
of nature. Human behavior is the parameterized outcome of a process in a
three-dimensional energy system, composed of rational, physical and emotional
energy. Often emotional energy and rational energy are confl icting
energies. No system is sustainable until it has proved to be so. The closer a
process accomplishes nature law, the greater the reliability and sustainability.
The concepts allow analysis and understanding of any type of process
and crisis.
