Last words on the Financial Crisis

I don't really have too much to say on the financial crisis. It's a lame situation to be in and one being felt throughout the entire world. However, out of everything bad arises something good or to be a bit more cliche, the sun must set before it rises. I think the message is that despite this "crisis" everyone is facing, there are many benefits still to come. At this point its a matter of being patient and re-assessing our values along with personal priorities. If anything this crisis can serve as a reminder how all humans really don't differ regardless of age, gender, race, or class. We are all just as fallible as the next and each of our actions no matter how big or small have an impact not just on ourselves but all those around us. That impact doesn't stop there,however, because now those people who have been impacted by our actions, for better or for worse, are now going to impact all those around them by the influence of our action on their next action and so on and so forth. Pretty soon, whether we are conscious of it or not, that action we thought no one would really care for, or wouldn't really matter has had an overwhelming effect.

It's this very concept that brought the world as a whole to a close halt. A halt that may have been needed to save us from insanity. The world was revolving around ideals from Henry Ford's times. Efficiency and speed was the name of the game and such was its success that it took its failure to bring us to realize that we've grown up a bit and a more mature game should be establish. So rather than pointing fingers and blaming one another we should rejoice at the opportunity we have standing before us. This is our time to come together, no longer as a nation, but as a world. Yes, mistakes were made, but actions towards correcting those mistakes are taking place as I'm writing this.

As a nation we have a long way to go and even further as a world, but that's what makes it so exciting. There's this road that needs paving and now is everyone's chance to go out and start paving it to the best of their ethical abilities. Each one of us now has the chance to leave their footprint on the world however they see fit. My personal recommendation would be to embrace that long unpaved road and put forth all the energy one has towards paving a good one. Why? Simple, because whatever you end up paving is what future generations will walk on and draw inspiration from till a new road is in need of work.

I am excited for what's to come for as they say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and personally I plan on using that strength to pave as much of that road as I possibly can for all to enjoy.
