The summer came to an abrupt
end wherein the instability of the weather certainly carried over into
the more material things such as the stock markets.
Yet their whimsical resemblance
to how mother nature plays with temperature or the puffy clouds that
hang over just as you embark on a picnic is an all too familiar episode
where one can hear the diabolical laughter of Gaea herself embedded
within the fluctuating maelstrom of stocks over the entire world economy.
It's comical - though tragic
at the same time - to witness the turmoil one feels as they watch their
effortless "earnings" drop in a frenzy of weathered formation
just as the avid beach-goer watches the tides crash upon their sought
space of solace in the sun.
People have had a relatively
easy ride over the last few years - making money out of practically
nothing. But is this easy fortune merely an illusion - or delusion,
mind you - or is it simply a way of the unwritten ethereal rules stating
that you've had too much, and now it's time to give back?
People these days expect
everything for nothing; they become childish when they do not get their
precious way, and it makes one want to give them a bottle, bib and make
a warm spot in a crib, as that's where a good portion of these people
belong.
Heaven forbid someone doesn't
get what they want! Weren't we told when we were young that you don't
always get what you want, and to never beg nor scream when it does happen
that way?
Why don't these growing
adults ever take these words seriously? No wonder there's a growing
surge in "Daycare for Seniors."
