The Economy

I find money to be one of the most disturbing and puzzling matters for humanity. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that it is one of those things that is given so much attention and in the end, it often gives so little back. I'm also astonished when there is a disaster or some other really important event that happens, and so often, one of the first things that is talked about is how much money it will cost to recover or what the damages were. It seems like such a superficial way to value and describe life happenings. There is so much attention being given to the economy right now, as the stock market took another slide today. Our dependence and the fact that this can unravel us and make so many people edgy or downright panicked seems to say a lot about who we are as a people. Where do we put our trust? What is it that gives our lives meaning? How do we value ourselves and others? I seriously doubt that dollar signs will do the trick!
