If we mend our ways, things will definitely improve.<br /><br /><br />Solilo - not exactly a digression :D Sometimes it seems as if people are getting away with bad behaviour....in the short term. My belief in karma comes from live experiences within my family itself....it may take decades sometimes, but that punishment for deliberate wrongdoing does come sometime or the other.<br /><br /><br />Prashant - its very easy for ppl to get tempted by greed, but hopefully current & future generations should learn from these mistakes, so we never again get sucked into such a whirlpool, as you rightly described it.<br /><br /><br />Renu - I really liked that saying! The problem is that everyone wants the "good life" & they want it right now, regardless of whether they can afford it.<br /><br /><br />Smitha - thanks :) Certainly, we should enjoy our lives, that's one reason we work so hard, but there's a limit to how much you should work, how much you should enjoy. What we're seeing now is what happens when you cross those limits.Salomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08390297289267521453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173154.post-60495790851286941692009-05-29T13:42:37.387+05:302009-05-29T13:42:37.387+05:30Shalom, That was a fantastic post! And I agree wit...Shalom, That was a fantastic post! And I agree with everything you've said!Yes, it is NOT a failure of the capitalist philosophy.. As you say 'the failure of regulatory authorities who should've ensured organizations didn't overstretch their limits'.<br />and <br />'Anything taken to an extreme is bad; so the fault does not lie in capitalism per se, but in the unchecked, unbridled capitalism and materialism'<br /><br />Yes, things would be so much easier if people did realise what you say here 'Provided we adhere to these guidelines, we have every right to enjoy the fruits of our efforts.'<br /><br />You've said it all so beautifully!Smithahttp://wordsndreamz.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173154.post-61516283782273296722009-05-29T00:04:18.753+05:302009-05-29T00:04:18.753+05:30you violate His laws, you will pay a price someday...you violate His laws, you will pay a price someday. As you sow, so shall you reap, ---I firmly believe in this.<br />you are right that fault doesnt lie with capitalism but with people.<br />If we do business ethically..we generate wealth and employment both....here what happened that big compnies were growing not because their products were selling but because of their big debts....kehte hain...jitnee chadar ho utne hi pair failaane chahiye...here everybody bought, spent and consumed more than he could affors and the result is there for everyone to see.Renuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052079745061422542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173154.post-57024058728783475382009-05-27T06:34:26.529+05:302009-05-27T06:34:26.529+05:30I liked certain lines like "You violate his laws, ...I liked certain lines like "You violate his laws, you pay the price". Its the universal truth and sometimes we get so immersed in our career to do justice to values.<br /><br />About the economic scenario,i would consider it as the after-effect of the capitalist mind. as you said, greediness went to such great levels so that people who were supposed to be the guardians of the economy turned a blind eye to the whirlpool destruction which has created havoc across the world !Prashant Sreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028728984318324067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173154.post-33379680362403131532009-05-27T03:31:33.797+05:302009-05-27T03:31:33.797+05:30Shalom, I wish more could think like you but that'...Shalom, I wish more could think like you but that's not the case. Basic laws of every faith is the same but still it is twisted for individual gains.<br /><br />Even though I am a believer of 'Karma', I have seen some people just getting away even after wrong doings. I question it sometimes and retrospect then that feeling passes as you see better things around. <br /><br />One thing I am sure of is that if I knowingly hurt someone then I can't sleep at night. No..I am no saint and I do go harsh on people too but you know hurting a good soul now that is just not right.<br /><br />Did I digress? :DSolilohttp://mesoliloquy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173154.post-27170640355238852972009-05-26T19:16:16.048+05:302009-05-26T19:16:16.048+05:30Very true Shalom - what you said was immensely cor...Very true Shalom - what you said was immensely correct.
