I found it amazing to read the news online today to discover the US government is going to bail out the financial institutions with billions of dollars; and then to see the impact this has had on markets around the world with some bank stocks up by over 30%.

I can’t help but think how all this started with greed.

I know, a big statement/opinion and I know there are more factors here, but when I just let myself “feel” about what’s happened, I keep getting an uneasy sensation in my stomach that this has all been about greed.

So, you’re presented us with the reminder of our rights to vote (in Australia, voting is compulsory!). I challenge voters to consider their feelings as much as their thoughts when considering their voting decision. Our bodies are great barometers of what’s really going on in the world; they tell us information which can be far more accurate than what’s in our heads…or what’s being fed into our heads.

I respect peoples’ choices and at the same time challenge the process by which we make choices and my comments here are simply to encourage evaluating how to improve our decision-making process.

Thanks once again for providing this powerful forum to share ideas and feelings.

Cheers,
