Of all the loathsome and disgraceful characteristics of a Human, Betrayal ranks up there with murder.. When it comes to a national institution on whom we deposit not only our money; but that most precious of virtues "trust" and we discover that they have been colluding with the enemy.. When HSBC started money laundering Mexico cartel money and got caught with a £600+m pound fine... and Barclays are found with blood on their hands with Iran as a bedfellow... and the PPI debacle is living proof of deliberate dishonesty, = deception which equals plain lies... "you should have read the small print?" but there is so much of it.. woven into a myriad loopholes exclusions; disclaimers and amendments at short notice... You need sea sick pills and a large bucket to look at your monthly statement...
Where can we turn for the truth about our future security?..
both material and spiritual.. where does the trail to profit end.. in the
bottomless snake pit of the traders floor, where the buck stops Humanity ends
also... so it seems, Where financial incentives exist, compassion and fairness
get the bullet..
at times like this I am glad to be dirt poor... coz if I had
a fortune it would sure be vaporised by now, not through self indulgence and
gambling, drinking and pretty prostitutes.. but via the investments I would
have been persuaded to take.. had I had a wad to stick in a nest egg..
cracked because the curate dropped it..
but there is also a lesson to be learned in wanting
unrealistic returns... coz when the spirit of greed gets its claws in you,
Modesty and humility are slowly asphyxiated... and Dreams of Aston Martins fill
your mind like a vision of paradise... sadly it is only when you have almost
nothing, that you finally realise the true value of Money and how much a pound
of butter costs.... there is one Question a banker can never answer; what is
the price of happiness.. and what is worth sacrificing your soul for it...
"when the worry of it will probably kill you anyway"
