Economics

A larger synthesis I've been working on has been about the economy of each of the places though which I have traveled. What is an exchange of equitable value? What is everyone doing about the petroleum situation. It seems like everywhere is hanging on the brink of collapse from rising fuel costs.

And everyone knows everything in the news. Certainly much better than I do. Why does it seem like I'm the only one in my circle of friends really acting on what I know to be true. I don't want to be harsh or anything. But seriously? What is the value of what each person is doing for society? If society massively restructured, as could happen at any time from any number of causes (natural, political or otherwise), what would we all do? Who would have the resources to keep themselves alive? This may sound a little paranoid and there have been people preaching Armageddon for a while too. Maybe that's how I sound. I don't know.

I've just been trying to work towards the education I need to provide the necessary services to people that I've been training my brain for, all these years. Now I've been training my soul. Why is that crazy? Because I haven't made as much money, always seems to be the answer.
