And what you say is true--'never speak of the crash.'<BR/><BR/> When the markets went down and people lost lakhs and millions, many of my friends were suggesting that this was the best time to buy stocks, that what went down will soon come up and bring more profits. Maybe blind optimism! But it appeared more like never ending greed/selfishness and a polyanna attitude. Maybe we all are guilty of these, in degrees.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous....True, our generation may end up being a cog in the wheel. But it's heartening to see quite a few breaking free and pursuing their passions. They inspire the rest of us to do the same and transmit this awareness to the next generation.Vishwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212671896677162784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15131931.post-35323036676329128522008-01-23T22:26:00.000+05:302008-01-23T22:26:00.000+05:30The security a piece of paper can give us, is so h...The security a piece of paper can give us, is so huge. Hence the difficulty to become independent of it. <BR/><BR/>We are a cog in the wheel and probably our generation will be like this. We cannot escape the system.<BR/><BR/>People now retiring in their 40's, has begun a new trend where they try to put their focus into various other hobbies and interests that they did not have time to spend on. <BR/><BR/>This outlook will slowly spread to the next generation and it is then that money and all the falsity it carries with it slowly vanishes.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The title for this post fits very aptly with the contents.<BR/><BR/>I also liked the way in which you brought out the cultural differences that exists in the world and the contrast between liberty and belief.<BR/><BR/>Keep the good work up.<BR/><BR/>Liked your family photo too!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15131931.post-67922653170234868412008-01-23T10:19:00.000+05:302008-01-23T10:19:00.000+05:30I’ve learned from reading the works of Joseph Camp...I’ve learned from reading the works of Joseph Campbell that rituals of passage transform through generations, even if the same liturgy is followed. Often “tradition” is followed even though no one remembers its original purpose. Congratulations and blessings to your nephew.<BR/><BR/>The story of your return trip fascinates me. I wish I could experience the same. I have never been in the sleeping car of a train.<BR/><BR/>Shush, Vishwa. “Crash” is a word not spoken I capitalistic societies. Of course, that is exactly what may happen and. If it does, the capitalistic world can look to the adventurism of the U.S.’s Bush administration for the origin. <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you and yours, my friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939152657551690867noreply@blogger.com
