Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Dear Amarnath ~ just reading the account at the link below brought a full heart and tears of joy. Also, I agree with your comment. Greed, now fed by existing greed (as with the people who already have the money), or new greed based on a perception and reality of lack, has definitely caused the crisis. However, it is harder for me to feel disturbed by those who, perhaps don't do all they should be doing in their jobs, out of a very real fear that their jobs might go away. My stepbrother lost his job severeral months ago. I think when it first happened, he thought it was just him. I hope he can at least know now that this is structural, endemic, and that he is only one of many thousands. My sister is an Amma devote, and she and Randi are doing their best to be positive. But I worry what will happend when his unemployment runds out. They could very well loose the house and everything they have built as their hearth and home across decades. And I am sad to say that this is the first time I have felt lucky that I am too sick to work, which feels like a terrible thing to admit. If I lost my SSDI, I would be on the street very quickly. Obama spoke very upbeat at his latest press conference, and I am so glad that he did because I think he has a great gift to verbilize compassionately the hard times that so many are going through. He is real ... he says it can't be fixed in a day, and I feel how much that pains him. I know he would like to wave a magic wand and put everything right. I do trust that he will do all that is in his power to make this happen in the longrun. And I have to say, while listening to that speech, I could now understand how Temba could ball the President ... BARAK OBAMMA. Obamama does exemplify many of the values Amma teaches, and who knows what She may be doing behind the scenes ....

If every banker and business man was unselfish like this fellow, would we have the economic disaster we have now and all the other problems rooted in greed? **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
