Welcome
Have you ever noticed that human beings have to sometimes experience pain or even suffering from bad decisions in order to move forward and make changes? Isn’t that what God allowed for in the Garden of Eden as our first big mistake? Yet, without bad things happening, would we be able to recognize or appreciate good?
As analogies, the tragedy of crisis and wars and their painful impact has served to recharge our nation and seems to bring out the best in our people. The experiences World Wars I and II led to building a stronger economy through our manufacturing sector. In the 1960’s the pressure and urgency of the space race to get to the Moon, led to thousands of inventions that are used today in every day life. The Internet is one of the outcomes of the race for space. Is it possible, that 9/11 and the Iraq war will change the course of the world as part of the Master’s plan?
Yes, we can blame the recession on our naive government leaders and the greedy and deceiving bankers, brokers. And those who chase money for a living, they violated their own principles to line their own pocket books and look good to share holders. Bill Gates may have said it best… “Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.” These “smart” lenders discarded moral judgment, values, and integrity to chase profit for selfish gain. They forgot the golden rule.
Unfortunately, teaching Ethics in business, doesn’t work if its not heart felt, and about concern for our fellow man.
But nearly all of us got caught up in our “Economy on steroids,” so unfortunately we all have a price to pay. For many of us, we have course corrections to make through our painful diet, to survive and feel healthy again.
