best feeling depressed depression dispair feeling hope hopefull
HOPE is the most important thing in our life (financial or not).
Is the feeling that make us move forward. Is the feeling that makes us support a lot of the daily hardship. When you loose hope, you are getting depressed instantly. Hope (or the lack of it) will make people loose the will to live. Employees without hope are not productive. Prisoners are living day after day because they have hope (of breaking, of a new life after it, etc).
Even when u deeply hate someone and u want to hurt him, still u hope to have more time to hurt him…
People with no hope are not joyful, are lousy parents and lousy human been
We must keep the hope, even artificial if it’s possible. The alternative for HOPE is to dark to consider.
Hope keeps us going. No matter is hope in redeption, afterlife, riches, great women, 99 virgins, peoples recognition, etc… HOPE rulz. Hope will make the recession go away

depression gonna be ok good news optimism pessimism
We are in a deep economic hole. And we still going down. Nobody knows for how long.
Most of the people only looks at the next step. At the very present. And they feel depressed (if the situation is bad).
Yes, we live bad times. However, sun will shine again on the economy. So it’s gonna be OK. And after that it will be again depression. And OK again. And so on. Good-bad, day-night, optimism-pessimism are cyclical. 
Understand this and you will not be so influenced by external factors

big depression depression financial crisis learnings from depression learnings from the crisis next bubble
NOTHING.
We, humans, are greedy. This is our nature. We want more and more. Finance is a way to get more. We always run for an easier way to earn money.
And we will always do that. Utopian societies are …. utopic. I think the greed is deeply embedded in our genome, and we always look to the financial aspect of our life. As comparison, we want to find a way to check all 5 levels of Maslow Pyramid. Money help us check all 5 levels.
So, we will not learn anything from this financial crisis. 99% of humans are plain stupid. They are only interesting in short term and in their life only. They don’t give a damn on environment (until they are hardly hit), in financial slavery, in laws that are not affect them directly, in things that are not sustainable,… So they will look further for ways to make profit. And profit is not a zero sum game during a year. It is, however on longer periods, when markets are regulating themselves
We will keep running for profit. We will run further into crisis after crisis. Because this is who we are. Stupid, egoistic, self-center individuals. The perfect viruses for this planet. We consume every resource we have in our disposal.
So, good luck to us all…
Be smart. At least you can learn from this crisis is learn when it wil be the next downturn, and not to be so greedy, when you should mark up your profits at the next buble
