melt. melt . meltdown!!!

Hey , how are you doing ?
Hope everything s alright .Hope you haven't been fired or rather to use the politically correct term , be a victim of excessive downsizing being carried out by the major multinationals today .Well , its doubtful , that your any of these , in fact , the people who are actually being affected by this crisis , whose life its changing don't seem to be speaking too much , they re just content with , holding their heads and lamenting at god , or if your an atheist , lamenting at the global meltdown .But i am an eternal optimist , nothing really gets me down for too long .
And for a change to anything you would be actually reading in the papers for a few days , this meltdown is actually a blessing in disguise . Why ???
No , i am no sadist , who loves to see people killing themselves , and neither do i glean pleasure from the pain that is being caused to others , no truly i do not , only my words are caustic , my intent is far from that .
Think of the global meltdown as being given a new lease on life , think of it , as being given a new lump of clay , think of it as a start , not as an end .
Yes agreed , companies are losing millions and millions of dollars every day , all over the world , people have lost their means of lively hood , but , to those , who have not grasped the essential facts of economics right , money is like energy in physics , it can neither be created , nor can it be destroyed , it can only be changed from one form to another . Money in this world is constant ,
there is a deficit of funds , it doesn't mean that the money has gone for a trip to outer space , it only means that people are not exchanging money like they did . Every one profits only if , money passes hands , the more business there is , the more "money " that's is being made , the better it is for the general good . How ever if money doesn't flow , if it just stops , then basically , there is hoarding of cash , people don't buy goods , or services , they would like to keep their money safe with them in the bank vaults , but who actually gains from all this ?
Let me tell you this , if you don't push that money around , nobody is going to lose except for you . The value of the money in the bank locker would actually end up decreasing , it wont increase , and even though the "volume" of money in your possession remains constant , there would be a steady decline in the "value" of the money .
So , if this were to be simplified , when you hoard , then you don't gain , you lose.

Welcome .

Since this is my first blog post , Id like to start the first one with my title i.e the lantern bearer .Do i think that i am so arrogant so as to call myself a giver or light ? Or am i just plain simple in order to BELIEVE that i can enlighten my peers , colleagues , people who live their lives around me . NO .I fear , i have a slightly more complicated than that.

Enlightening the masses is a tough job , one too tough for my simple existance.

Id rather leave that job to all the great "enlightened" leaders that my motherland India is blessed with . The job of spreading the light is a form of altruism that i care not to indulge in .Don't get me wrong , I keep my stand and go as far as to say that our leaders indulge in something much more greater than just altruism, their primary focus is not self sacrifice for the service of the masses , but service of the self . I bow to these illustrious men and women , for they are performing the greatest duty that can be performed by any individual , they are carrying out the highest form of charity , they are servicing the nation , they are actually steaming it ahead .Not conciously i assure you but then how do they precisely do it ?

Here i would like to use a reference to a certain author whose profound thoughts actually fuelled my to choose this particular title . I am referring to a particular Adam Smith , whom i consider the father of modern economics .

Our politician s are carrying out exactly what is essential for all of us , they are servicing their self .Yes , service of self is indeed the greatest.I am referring to the "invisible hand" that is talked of in the "wealth of nations".I bow to you , oh you mighty men .You are gods beyond all .

I am a mere boy , just a mere human , my thoughts may not be the same as yours , the more varied they are , the better it is , individuality , is the biggest illusion that man lives in .

How i plan to be a lantern bearer and spread the light ?

Its something much more selfish , which is actually the most selfless thing i could do , i want to shroud myself in darkness and observe everything . No ,i would not be hidden , i would not cease to be a part of this world and just observe it , i would partake in the activities , but i would be passive , for my fellow men , its about time , that you became active,.
