Dirty Economics

The word dirty is commonly used for nasty and the nasty game that has been played by the Governments and the corporate houses our economic life is getting dirty day by day.

DNA of Selfishness

It has been ages since we started bartering (Refer DNA of Selfishness) but it wasn't enough for those who found a more easy way "BORROWING" and look where we have come. I am referring to the recent Domino effect that is cause by USA "The ONE" due to heavy debt that it owes to many countries and sister IMF and shamelessly raising the ceiling when it should have floored its Military spending years back. But nonetheless who has pointed finger at the GOD in public. I was reading an article on how Greece’s economy is turning into a mythology after trying the same within a year. Paul Ryan rightly says that "Borrowing and spending is not the way to prosperity". Rightly so, how can a country keep on borrowing the money and with the GDP growth that they have still finds themselves in the debt this implicates their excess spending and I am also not astonished to see IMF second their deeds now and then. There is a wise quote by George Bernard Shaw that “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul”.

The story about mother visiting his son

I had a great impact on a story I came across during my schooldays in which a mother fills with pride to see her son afford a house, car, TV and maintains a lifestyle that she always dreamt of during her visit in summer. She is shocked to see in the next visit her son's condition turned upside down and finds out that it was all due to his incapability to pay back the loan he had owed to banks. This story still holds good to not only the people but also the countries. Today, even the newborn kids find themselves in debt for no good reason due to heavy borrowing by the countries to keep up with the word “development”.

If you dig deep into the market you would find that not only has the credit cards but also the banks played a role in distorting the balanced economy that it was and people unknowingly started affording the lifestyle they never had and found themselves on roads after their house of wax catches fire.

What can change and what not

With the way economy is going, I think the only way to maintain a balance is to limit our spending and clearly differentiate between our needs and desire. If we; at our level, can realize the importance of this truth our child will not face a crippled economy around the globe. If you have noticed that even after raising the interest rates so many times RBI finds it difficult to control inflation due to their inability to curb the companies from distributing Credit cards and consumers from using them. Surely, the liquidity has been arrested but not the spending for there are methods devised in the system to overcome the hurdle of money.

Nostradamus

The seer in one of his quatrain predicted that gold and silver would start rising and the scrip and the bond will be wiped out. And with the way we are moving I don’t see in this predication going wrong as Gold and Silver hold a material value and is limited in the nature unlike the paper currency or bonds that have been ever increasing every time they start losing their value. So at time when even 10p was enough 10k isn’t.

Well we all know that it has always been about knowing our limit and work accordingly. I would only like to say that knowing the need is the purest approach we can have. If we rely on borrowing it will always come back and haunt us sooner or later. So closing my blog with what Einstein once said "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe". Let’s wait and watch.

Amen

Being of the Third Kind

War and Peace

I woke up to the news of China executing the suspected people behind the recent bombing. I was left agog that without a concrete proof how can govt. order to execute someone when in other part of the world a criminal with all the reasons to be censured is still trying to get absolved. Anyway, I don’t want to go deep into what is justified. My focus would be on what I think of War and Peace (Trust me, I haven't read Tolstoy). I also don’t want you to go deep within your soul and get in war with your thought to get peace. I just thought it would be good to categorize those who are at War with themselves and don’t like to settle it down and others who make peace with them and seek company of others to share with.  

Love or Hate

I feel that “hatred is too heavy too atomic to be distributed and love is too voluminous to get exhausted while sharing”. This blog of mine is devoted to those who like being hated and those who like being loved. I am sure the latter would find out time to read all what I have written as the other kind would be busy raising a cocoon around themselves. You might have noticed how our attitude changes when we are happy or sad. We can assume here that situation plays a vital part in deriving energy, other than Food and Light. In the same way the penchant to grow is derived by some through love and others derive it through hatred. Some set benchmarks to defeat those he hate or some like being involved with loved ones and work more efficiently in their company. There might be some in here who might feel anxious to work alone and there might be some who like being hated because they fear love.

There might be some other kinds as well but why focus on them when we have the most unique two kinds:

1. Those that like being loved and share happiness with their loved ones

2. Those who like being hated and don’t bother to give a thought what others think of them. 

Why others like being hated

It is as inconceivable to me of someone you haven’t came across who likes being in cocoon as is with someone who is not jovial and easygoing. But have you ever tried to find the difference between the two. A very b'ful quote by Kurt Tucholsky a German satirist and poet describes "Those who hate most fervently must have once loved deeply; those who want to deny the world must have once embraced what they now set on fire.” and that is according to me very true. Some people in the early stage of their life where in they loved someone deeply must have lost them and started to get aloof from the social gathering and try not to get attached emotionally for the fear of losing someone again or being hurt. But eventually it’s the way you take life you would find few others who have been in the same situation but who embraced the world even more with a thought that "Life is short and happiness is true when shared with others".

Why some love and grow

For those who look at a glass half full. M K Gandhi said "Where there is love there is life." and those are the people who become alive in others company and make their surrounding alive with their love so has Henry Drummond an evangelist described that "To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever." So wherever you see people cheerful and smiling without a doubt they would be the people who feed on the love of others and are being loved as they distribute the wisdom of love and happiness and that’s what give them the strength to grow.

Who is in emotional imbalance?

I don’t want to be judgmental about the 2nd kind as everyone has a path to follow and if someone around you is going through emotional turmoil and has reserved himself let it be for once he is out of his hibernation. He will be lot like you and even more positive in his approach as his war would end with Peace.         

To sum it up there are more b’ful quotes on Love then those for hate. In the same way there is more life around then there is misery and that’s why the world is moving and so should we.

Amen
