I check in now and then but often don't have much to say. I like these boards...much less formal than elsewhere so it gives one a chance to breathe.
Australia has done quite well despite the global downturn but this is mainly due to China's hunger for our resources. Take away the mining sector and we're basically an advanced third-world country...no kidding. The resource sector has also cushioned house prices which by global standards are ridiculously high. Something will give eventually and the correction will wreak quite a bit of devastation unfortunately.
This is only because people have locked themselves into mortgages that have been hyper-inflated through greed. The same sort of scenario we've seen in most of the Western world so far, yet our economists somehow maintain that our greed is more noble and more sustainable than elsewhere. But that's human nature - we all like to see evil as existing externally to ourselves.
Yea I think it is just that we are very subjective in our evaluations. It is difficult to be objective about ourselves, that is why we have a guru. He surely shows us where we have blind spots, if we remain in tune.
But being objective about this board I have this observation; things have indeed changed ‘Web’ you might’ve noticed. For instance we have lost ‘Into Blue’ for now. She has passed to the other side. Although in her true fashion she has sent her joy from the side during a difficult 😞 time. And it was definitely her love that reached through the veil.
Just a reminder that what we have nurtured and attempted to accomplish here does not go unheeded.
