We all have only one life to live. My travels over the last 10 years have helpped considerably to recognize the extent to which social cohesion in the west is falling apart. Forcing me to determine within myself at what cost am I willing to pay to play in the west. At the momment, it's getting way too expensive.
Stagnating wages, malinvestment everywhere, and quantitative easing is creating lives of extreme polar opposites. Either rise above the fray using profits from speculation or fall into the credit trap in order to survive. Quality of life is deteriorating quickly with very little room for the working class to simply live within their means and accumulate savings with excess earnings. What I believe the world is witnessing in real time is a deliberate beat down on the masses that was formerly reserved for the nations outside of Western Europe. This is far from unprecidented, but it is in recent times.
My suggestion. Now would be a good time to see the world through your own eyes. Only then can you truely understand my sentiments.
