Recent numbers show that the amount of banks on the brink of failing is as high as in 1993. Remember what happened then? The internet boom hit, everyone did well, and then it went bust. Next the housing boom hit, everyone did well, and then it went bust. Which brings us to now. A serious bust.
Our culture promotes infidelity. Movies show us people (stars) we idolize in compromising positions, Reality TV lets us look into other people’s lives, and magazines allow us to view both at a glance. The effect is this: our infatuation with other people eventually leads to a desire for an inappropriate sexual relationship.
I’ve
been thinking a lot about all of the pain that I’ve been seeing in the
world. Every day I consume the news about another earthquake, another
disaster, another person suffering from disease or exploitation.
Drilling into my personal life, seeing friends struggle with divorce,
economic hardship, addiction, and loss. There is so much pain in the
world and so little known about how to approach it proactively.
