Some strong words about the love of money i am writing now to remind myself:

"there was no escaping the feeling that all these titans of global capitalism were in the same boat, and that boat was going down."
. -The BBC reporting on the World Economic Forum in Davos

Everything gets shaken eventually.. It's just amazing the amount of trust and assumption of permanence that gets invested in such flimsy structures (with such shiny signs).

Financial security and material wealth are not worthy of your trust! They are not kind compassionate or merciful in any way! They speak in flattery and bullying tones, and talk of superiority and inferiority. they keep trying to bribe our greed and threaten our fears. Don't listen to them!

They will all become rubble. Don't shelter underneath them in a storm.
