Is a recession a good thing?
That sounds a little harsh, sure. But maybe some recession living could be a good thing. Maybe we all need a wake up call - because hey, we’re living in a world and a time where many people are self-centered, self-serving and in love with money and things.
Now, granted, not everyone is like this, but in America it sure seems like the majority fit into the selfish, money-hungry crowd.
So my thoughts are that a recession could be a good thing - a chance for people to wake up and smell the reality. A chance for people to regather their humanity. When all of our money and expensive toys are gone and we’re feeling a little desperate, it makes you stop and think about what’s important: Family, friends, faith.
What do you think?
I agree completely. I think in this recession time the folks who never had money to begin with will do okay. It is those who had it, went crazy with it, and suddenly find that it is gone . . . those folks will be hit the hardest. In the end, I hope we (meaning all Americans) will be better for the lesson learned in these tough times.
