I was pointing out how the Europeans, despite their lesser number of hours spent at work...make big money.
Contrast this with the U.S., and alarmingly in some developing countries like India, China & Brazil. People seem to have lost their minds in pursuit of money. Will it really benefit them ???
Look at the stock market indices and DECIDE FOR YOURSELVES...folks.
The blistering pace (bull market) seems to be "short runs" ....we need some serious introspection.
We are all getting unhealthy..in body & spirit. My neighbourhood friend who started from scratch and has made a load of money is totally disullusioned has now given in to Lord Krishna.....
......but currently I AM FIGHTING A WAR & NEED LORD KRISHNA'S ADVICE as per Bhagavad Gita... ;-)
Another friend is totally puzzled somewhere in the U.S. of A. with a startup company that earned her a couple of million $ ..... but she wants to give it all and start afresh at the Aurobindo Ashram.
Didn't Lord Buddha say Himself...that you should all follow a MIDDLE WAY ?
Anyway, I guess the only relatively healthy ones left are the Europeans and a few Latin countries.
Believe me...this senseless pursuit of money gives you an adrenaline rush......and then you want more & more & more ....... you take loans & more loans .....where do we end up ? The money will all go down the drain....
THIS APPLIES TO COUNTRIES TOO ....... THEY ARE SO INTO DEBT THAT STOCK MARKETS HAVE A SERIOUS RISK THEY WILL COLLAPSE.
