MY OPINION:

WE ARE IN A
WORLDWIDE DEPRESSION
NOW

*    *    *    *

February 9, 2009.  Recently, I have discovered that the major newspapers are "not" being truthful, but rather, use propaganda to influence the public. However, we need to be realistic about everything in order to make logical decisions.

WORLDWIDE DEPRESSION

There is no doubt that we are in a greater Depression now than what occurred in the 1930's. The reason this economic crisis is greater is because it is worldwide. Every nation is being affected, and many people who were on the verge of hunger are now starving, and since we are struggling ourselves, we are not able to help them as much as before. We are in a Worldwide Depression where every nation is affected.

This means that, as an economic necessity, it will take time for the economy to fully fall to the bottom - no matter what we do - and, after it falls, it will take time for it to start working its way back up.

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE 

However, for the newly healing economy to work, it must move up slowly.  It cannot be a bouncing ball or it will fall again and again and again. We need to be patient and accept the reality of time required to recover.

The Stimulus Plan will help, and no doubt there will be more packages to come, but we cannot live in fairy tale thinking that tomorrow or next week or even in several months that things will return to "normal" as we knew it before the crash.

NO MORE DEBT!!!

We must learn to live on what we make instead of living temporarily on credit, thinking this crisis will turn around in a few weeks or a few months.  It will not!  We could be in this Depression for many years.  There is a difference between being hopeful and being in denial of reality. We must maintain hope for our future - always - and take actions wisely while learning to tolerate the hard times with a peaceful mind.

The purpose of the diversity of religions is so that no matter who you are, there is some religion that fits you. Religion shows us how to be at peace during difficult times. Why is this important? Because nothing - absolutely nothing can harm you, except your own self, and stress will destroy your health and make it difficult to think with reason.

CHANGE OUR
ECONOMIC LIFESTYLE
PERMANENTLY

We cannot go back to the way things were -- we must change. This reality of a long term economic change also means that we must change with it, and keep, and maintain our economic lifestyle in a simple, and realistic way.

META-EVOLUTION

Accept it, and find peace with it because we are all in this together, and we all need to realize that the true meaning to life is "not" money, but it is our peace of mind which cannot be harmed - no matter what. We must meta-evolve to morph into a new way of living. (meta-evolve = metamorphosis + evolution).

STRONG SOUL (MIND)
SURVIVES ALL THINGS
WITH WISDOMPEACE

They can take my money, but they cannot take away my WisdomPeace!!!

We should read books on finance and learn to help ourselves by making changes because we did this by our own uneducated spending habits.

Study and learn. Enroll in college classes. Be around others and encourage them. Helping others makes you feel better.

We need to seek out "realistic" economists who share their knowledge with us because we do not want to go back to this event ever again. Or, perhaps, this event is an inevitable function of economy? We need to know this from "economic experts" so that we can recover and our children and their children will be prepared for the next one, if necessary.

We should think of this event as a long term economic change in the way we spend and never allow our credit to be our fantasy income inflated with interest on all our purchases. We will learn to live on what we make.

MONEY IS NOT GOD!!

God is clearly saying with Wisdom: stop worshiping money!! You need to put your time and efforts into your soul (mind), not into your wallet!!

Wisdom has also shown us that we are interconnected worldwide. We have clear evidence of this fact because all nations are suffering in this Worldwide Depression together.

Most important of all, we should learn that in truth, our happiness is "not" in our possessions, but in the WisdomPeace of the virtuous mind:  reason, courage, justice, self-discipline, empathy, compassion, and patience.
