We know the economy is suffering, but what are its implications?
Crimes are escalating, instilling fear and chaos in the public and growing ever so violent. Have you asked yourself the cause for the increase in severity of crimes? Do you realize these are crimes of desperation rather than greed? What can we do to stop them?
Desperation is powerful because it removes rationality from the equation and in doing so, make the perpetrators fearless. Without a secure job, no money for necessities, no home, food or warmth, hope slowly dissipates and desperation becomes the cheapest commodity. Everyday the news revolve around people jumping off buildings and mass family murder before suicide, robberies and kidnappings.
In a nutshell, people stop caring - because they can no longer afford to.
What happened to all these people who used to come up to me, laughing about how much they made from stocks and how great their lives are? Upon reflection, they are deserving of their downfall for over-relying on and over-exploiting the system. The innocents are those who never played with risky investments, never enjoyed a day off from hard work and still ended up dismissed from their jobs.
Life is unfair. It always has been.
Because we know equality is a myth, we have progressed into the era of dream economy, driven by consumerism and individualism. In this era, it is important to understand people including their hopes, fears and dreams.
We are the dreamers and we have failed. Failure in trusting the wrong people, selling the wrong ideas and living the wrong dreams.
This is our wake up call.
