soft_mageBonuses were a tremendous flashpoint in the aftermath of the crash, because it was so clear that a) bankers were insanely overpaid; and b) they had incentives for taking risks that paid them huge bonuses when the bets succeeded, but in the event they went wrong, all the losses were paid for by us. Privatised gains, socialised losses.

soft_mageWhen a person’s life lacks in meaning, pleasure, and they have no control over how to run their own lives, they look outside of themselves for salvation. The artist finds his calling in "self—expression", creating art pieces in which she can live out a dull reflection of what has not been possible in real life. That’s not beautiful; it’s pathetic.

soft_magebut dear people do you realize that all what is shown could have been found by yourself.
It is very egoic to ask for 'solutions' to the problem as the problem is within ourselves as every individual knows.
It is all about belief, your belief, no one else's in this universe. And your trust in your belief has been misused, abused and so on for centuries, thousands of years since some scribe started to write down what the man standing next to him was dictating him to write down.
