The lesson of a global financial crisis - what can we learn for our future out of the current financial crisis ?

On a wrong path all steps are wrong - on a path of money, fast profits, easy profits, cheap money all steps are wrong and sooner or later such a structure collapses. The collapse of money is an old story, repeated many times in history.

The traditional way to collapse is a total devaluation and installation of a new currency. Many countries experienced such total devaluation during the course of previous centuries. None of those countries really learned from the total loss in past times.

European countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Yugoslavia (previous) and many other countries experienced up to several total devaluation in past centuries. Same has occurred across the planet in most money / economy oriented countries.

A very few countries had NO total devaluation of their currency. For example Switzerland. The reason is obvious. Mortgages have been limited to a small percentage of the value of houses - leaving the majority of financing to be carried by the owner in cash. Loans for businesses have been much harder to obtain if at all - the basis of Swiss economy was based on slow but steady growth based on quality, reliability and dependability of industrial products and services. Such few examples may help other countries and people to compare various alternate options before repeating the very same mistakes in life again. Learn from those people and countries who have managed to avoid financial crisis, political crisis and total devaluation of their money over an extended period of time greater than a century.

The reason for each and every such financial crisis resulting in total loss of all financial savings and investments was and still is the same: People love to enjoy more love than the love they produce for others. In financial words: People love to spend more money than they earned / saved. People love to enjoy a lifestyle far above their current or past earnings / savings. People love to enjoy a high luxury lifestyle while at the same time indulging in more and more easy work, easy earning, easy money jobs.

In God's creation things work differently from what people here on earth would love to experience. A divine level of meritocracy - enjoy what you have earned with your own bare hands and with your own heart and love. Worthless are credits or work done by others for you - only what you know to do on your own and have done all on your own results in the life style you may enjoy eternally.

Learn from the ongoing financial crisis and move your financial assets into your heart instead of your bank account. Turn money into love - turn money into usefulness and helpfulness of yourself. Turn your savings into skills that make you more valuable to others. Learn skills that survive all crisis beyond life and death. Create power of love, turn financial assets into love assets. Learn to invest in better skills - learn to invest in useful skills and helpful skills that benefit others. Learn to become an expert in natural skills needed by as many as possible while at the same time being for the benefit of all.

One factor in past milleniums has survived all crisis - love. God and love shall last for ever while all material assets or money may vanish during years, decades or centuries to come. Focus on lasting values in your life and drop the temporary values such as titles, degrees, money or matter.

God bless
