Life, snow and bankers

Here we are a new year, but already some old habits and realities have come back. Snow paralyses the country, the banking system rips us all off, and we are surprised by both events!

Can we ever have a world where we say enough? What is it about the human condition that we accept greed as an acceptable form of behaviour? Surely the financial world is made up of human beings, surely they realise the contempt their actions attract, the disbelief ehcoeing around the planet at their sheer audacity, their reluctance to show care towards people, communties even countrys, their attitude of irresponsibility.

Is the human race all like this? Is this the real face of mankind, are we doomed to repeat this cycle of greed, corruption and disregard for others forever?

I dont think so, it is a new year, it is a new reality, it is what we make it. We have the power in our own actions, thoughts and deeds to be positive, to be responsible for others, to be human.

I think so, or at least I hope so.
