Recently the looming depression has caught everybody's eyeballs. Discretionary spending around the globe is dropping like stone, while retrenchment and salary cut are affecting more and more people. I foresee the greetings exchanged in the near future will be either "You got a pay cut?" or "Are you retrenched?" instead of "How are you doing?"
Another issue that shook the world will be the terrorist attack at Mumbai. I really have nothing much to say except this world is getting more and more crazy.
See, although economy and terrorist attack seem irrelevant, but what commonality they share? Well, they are all rooted in something pretty arbitrary and artificial. Finance sector is not part of the nature, so do all the religions in this world. We human beings invent all these initially for the betterment of human races, but end up screwing everybody deep and hard.
When I was young, I remember an old guy told me the older he got, the less he understood the world. Now I understand what he meant..., damn, that means I am also getting old...?? :P

some people get old without learning or becoming wiser...yes...you are getting older but also starting to see things as they are...many people age but never have this experience.

A lot of people can actually see the reality, but they choose not to because reality usually is not pretty. When you start to see both sides of an argument, you are more objective, but at the same time you will have more headaches to decide what to do.
When the market blows up, what ya gonna do?
When the hotel blows up, what ya gonna do?
When the job blows up, what ya gonna do?
Blow!
Was religion and finance really invented to make things better? I think they were just invented as ways for the ruling class to subjugate the serfs.
