fear is an attack to the soul

In the light of the economic crisis--- there is this trickle down effect of behavior that endangers us all even more so than any material possession lost or monetary loss. As those in the hierarchy of corporate greed often contemplate the thoughts of scarcity (note, this is hardly a true fear in most cases)--- their attentions turn to outward signs of child-like tantrums that lash out in most unwanted and abrasive actions and speech. When they manage businesses and corporations, behind closed doors are the sheepish attendants frightened of sudden reactions.

The bigger problem, this untrusting exchange becomes not only the symptom of fear, but spawns ever spreading reactive behavior as others emulate the 'boss'. The negative cycle can grow into a feeding frenzy that continues and those of us in productive cycles often become lacking in desire to fulfill a day's journey. We feel beaten and unacknowledged, unappreciated and unwanted. We are made to feel less than human. Our soul is attacked... and we lose our peace.

Harmony and meaningful peace is found when trust and humanity are rightfully honored, as well as earned. Scarcity is a thought felt only when we lack trust in ourselves to trust others and the universe. Our disconnect from nature makes us think we do not require blessing from the universe to survive-- but we never seem to realize money and material things are not going to keep us warm in a blizzard that cuts off power, or keep us alive in the middle of a tornado or earthquake. The power of nature and universe is far more vast than our human perception will ever know--- so how can we assume ourselves superior enough to have power over another human, let alone be more secure against nature with wealth?

Sometimes, we need to consider humanity is more important than economic possessions, and trust to be a required foundation to lead and to live. Look beyond our reality --- and then we can find truth in our future.
