Don't Let the World stress you

At the news of rising unemployment in Europe and North America it's difficult not to feel compassion for those experiencing the effects; the stress of their lives being tipped upside down; families struggling, employment worsening and youth with energy to burn but nowhere constructive to work it off.

It's during these times when discontent emerges, bringing with it riots and crime. Right now, in different parts of Europe, people are hurting badly; tension is building; families, schools, and businesses are being disrupted as a consequence and future prospects are vanishing before the eyes. It is at times like this that the need for strong leaders is most critical.

Unfortunately, the vast majority is too close to what is happening to be objective; when leaders are forced to make unpleasant decisions for the future of their country, reactions can be volatile. Greece, Italy, Ireland; all are experiencing trouble. Forget who and what is to blame; their governments now have the unenviable task of hauling their country back into the black.

So what's the answer? Is it possible to avoid the violence and hurt and longer term failure and find a better way?

For change to happen there must be agreement; to rise above current problems and avert dire predictions, peoples need to pull together. It is not the responsibility of any government to shoulder change on its own; its citizens, to reach a common goal of success and prosperity for their country and subsequently themselves, need an attitude of one-for-all and all-for-one, and the preparedness to cooperate for the common goal of turning the current economic climate around.

It won't be easy; in fact, let's be real; it will be downright hard. But what are the alternatives? What is likely to occur if the situation is left to continue unchecked?
A breakdown of society as we know it? Mass depression? Wide-spread poverty? Increasing crime? The results, if left to carry on with the status quo, could be horrific and the hardships for the current and future generations, much more difficult to overcome and contain.

The answer? I wish I knew; but one thing I do know is that when people work together for a common cause, they will generally overcome.
