Apathy

Have you made your list yet? It is very important to do that.

With the current goings on, in the financial markets, many folks are really feeling scared. If you have recently lost your job you probably are really scared. I'm including a piece written by a very good friend of mine to shed a little light:

The Miracle Minute The Old Apathy Trap October 8, 2008 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is easy for a driven minority to get their way when the silent majority doesn't step forward. If there were several planets to ride on it wouldn't matter. But spaceship Earth is all we've got, and no person, place, party, elected official or nation is an exception to the laws governing life. Shortcuts weaken people and eventually surface.
Governments cannot give us health, happiness, or peace of mind. These must be earned by the people who want them. The keys to achieving these rewards include self-honesty, self-discipline, service to others, respect for life, belief in a higher power, and the willingness to do what's right, even when the right way is painful and scary.
Anyone running for office who claims they can create jobs, give us health care, and fix our economy is lying. The only people who can make our world a better place is us. We the people must make it happen. Expecting something for nothing is childish insanity.
Haile Selassie, a positive-change agent who understood the cosmic laws and timeless truths, said, "Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; and the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most that has made it possible for evil to triumph."
Isn't it time that "we the people" said "enough is enough"?
