"Knowledge Is Power"

If you would like a better understanding of what is occurring with the Financial Crisis this is the best reference due to it's sophisticated simplicity. You will understand what I mean as you go through it. This is not just effecting us. You will see how this crisis, even if recognized, could not have been stopped. When I was young and collecting my thoughts after the events of September 11th, I had a distinct feeling overcome me. It was one of great power and has stuck with me ever since. In words the feeling was "It is sad that it takes a tragedy to make people change." I did not realize how profound that sentence was to myself. We tend to get into cycles as a society and individuals, in which we ignore the receding tides of integrity, humility and common sense. After the tsunami of consequences, much of which are from others mistakes, we throw our pride out the window and adjust to our new environment, or in other words. WE CHANGE. No one person is going to bring change or influence everyone to change. It is going to be in the moments of regret and anguish that we find peace in correcting our habits. Destruction allows us to free ourselves from things we didn't even know were binding us. Destruction can be refreshing. Out of the ash and embers of refinement, the dross is cast out and we come back as pure as gold.
