Wisdom

I found this at a friend's page on Facebook, frankly, and checkd it out. I enjoyed it and found it to ring true. I thought others might like and enjoy it. We should think more about what we can live without, it seems, doesn't it?

It doesn't look pretty out there

And no, I'm not talking about the weather.

I ran across a few websites this afternoon--one of them absolutely alarmist--that tell of the biggest of the world's problems right now, economically and otherwise.

There was one, though, with the following article that seemed both not alarmist or overly-emotional but calm, rational and correct.  You can check it out here:

10 Tipping Points Which Could Plunge The World Into An Economic Nightmare

The two things that strike me from this article are first, that so much of the warring and conflict problems do seem to be centered in the oil-producing Middle East and Northern Africa, which is horribly problematic for oil distribution and so, the world's economic engines to keep running.

The second thing that strikes me is that of the debt across the world--mostly nation-state--but also personal, household debt that is coming down on so many of us right now and slowing, if not stopping our economies.

Some possibly scary stuff, for sure.

Stay tuned.

Me?  I'm sitting here crossing my fingers.

Here's hoping, y'all.

The future's not so bright

Take off the shades.
