Greed

"President-elect Barack Obama Thursday said the nation's current economic crisis was not the result of chance but the result of greed."

Indeed, the everyday increasingly downward spiral of economic crisis is caused by greed. Greed drives grads to join the society as a banker. Greed drives the banks for profits and market share. Greed then caused the banker to resort to unethical measures to secure the business. Greed also blinded the investors in hope for high returns.

Result from these greed contribute to the crisis that leads to bank closing down and high unemployment rate throughout the globe. The once greedy banker lost their bowl. They don't just lost themselves but also lost the livelihood of people throughout the world.

Desire to achieve and desire to reach the highest possible I would says are dreams of everyone. It is very hard to not to desire for we are living in the era of consumerism. But uncontrolled desire leads to unwise moves. Emotions takes over logic and we are disillusioned to think we are the best and we know what we do. We would be called a saint if at any moment we know what we are doing.

To me, the recession would be a long lasting one and the casualty it brings along will definitely be something disastrous. Now what makes a man survive this episode is not knowledge, books or any lessons from gurus. Its the test of their mind, their mental strength and their faith to cross this bitter cold.
