It is 2009.
People are gearing for a lot of plans as to what the year will bring. Skepticism and Positivism mix in the air as the Chinese fire crackers blaze in the sky and snare the eardrums.
Bad vibes as they say go away. This may be true or not, people take the chance. It has become a tradition anyway. Nothing is wrong about it.
I simply don’t care.
Hear this one! The political upheavals happening among the crooks over the years make them growl as if they can make a big kill again for this year and for the most awaited – Election 2010. Isn’t that very true?
Economy has already gone berserk in the West that its effect has been predicted to be felt in the East sooner or later. Macau, the merry land of casino moguls is now laying off it is workforce. Its immunity no longer holds true.
All these instances remind me of the Jamaican music demigod, Bob Marley who kept on chanting – “Don’t worry about a thing, coz’ everything going be alright.” Err…Will his message still holds true as the economic nose dive in the West is closing in our shores?
The “pobres” may be deemed oblivious about the impending danger that can sweep every major tax generating companies in the land but I do believe they feel the need to tighten further their belts to go through life each day. Will be they more resilient to what is about to come? The arithmetic is simple. Three meals a day minus one is enough to comprehend that something is not right.
Something is very wrong.
Correct me if I am wrong, I think it is the “lack of bread to eat” that jolted the famous French Revolution.
As I try to tinker deeper the imbalance has already gone so bad. The disparity between the have’s and have not’s is unbelievably big enough already that the so-called middle class no longer exists.
The real question is, what am I doing to at least make a difference to the growing unevenness all round?
Sit-back and watch? Make more money online? Join a Busby SEO Test contest again? Or at least move my butt and do something worthwhile for mankind?
What?
