meltdown
There’s a financial “bloodbath” of sorts at the Wall Street, the markets world over, and closer home, at the Indian stock markets. Banks are shutting down, companies are laying people off by the hundreds, and the valuation of the richest individuals and companies in the world are taking a huge hit. Hundreds and thousands of people will be affected by these events. The United States of America, a great nation, is probably feeling it the most at the moment. At this time it is important to remember that ‘this too shall pass’. Some of us may lose our money, our jobs, our homes, and even hope.
Even events that threaten to completely destroy us have a certain lesson they carry. There might just be a silver lining to this oh-so dark a cloud. When all that you love can be taken away, when those that you have is gone, you wake up as a human being. All the silly things that you placed value in, now appear – well, silly. A product of suffering is a new respect for live and a deeper love for what is true.
This is my hope for us as dark days come.
