Comments from the ashes of our economic crisis. The BAFU mandate calls us to bounce back from unemployment. This is what we must find at the end of this article. How do we turn the tide? How do we shift our directions? We shall further analyze Up Side Down and Right Side Up theories to arrive at our conclusions.
To draw lessons from our past is the key issue in this article and to bounce back from our mess is the mandate we must adhere to. The reader or blogger is exhorted to find much to rebut and comment, for or against Gravity or Levity in our crisis. The law of gravity or gravitation as handed to us by Sir Isaac Newton, stems from this commonly accepted story that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "accleration due to gravity." Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree. Adapted from Astronomy 161 a class on the "The Solar System." So, from an economic standpoint, while our markets were rising, they were presenting a greater attraction to gravitation or simply put, the higher markets rise, the stronger their fall. Now that we understand the law of gravitation, it behooves us to contemplate the law of levitation. What is levitation? levitation has been around eversince the foundation of this earth as we now it and will be around till the end of this earth and for all eternity. Indeed we are told that those who believe in the promise of Jesus christ will ascend from this earth to meet the Lord in the air. Those who accept Jesus' salvation, will levitate from this earth to be with Him. That is levitation from our gravitational pull. That is the message of hope to our world today. And, that is what we must say to ourselves despite the gravitational pull that has crashed our markets. We shall rise again and levitate out of this disastrous chaos. To sum up the essence of what I am about to say in this article; gravitation pulls us down and levitation propels us up. We need much levitation now and we must remain hopeful of its arrival to come out of our economic mess. therefore, let us begin to propagate this message now. let us speak hope to one another and let us work based on that hope. we shall explore the subject further in this article to arrive at the point of truth together. How can we apply levitation in the light of gravitation? I want to make it clear that our focus is on Gravity or Levity and the wisdom we can acquire from both directions. Which way are we going in this crisis? Direction has proven to be the catalyst for success in all undertakings. We will analyze this topic from various directions to arrive at the light and approaches for our current situation as follows:
UP OR DOWN
Looking at our crisis from this vintage point, we will endeavor to find some advantages from our point of view as we arrive at a viewpoint. One of the questions I may ask is How do we look at a crisis? What do we see beyond the crisis? When the dust settles, will we be up or down? While the crisis is on, are we up or are we down? Is there a possible way to be up while all else is down? Can we turn our downside to an upside? Up or Down is the topic here. The reader must read with one expectation and that is to contribute his or her thought to this fascinating topic.
DOWN NOT UP
This is a conclusive reality subsequent to a real assessment of the current state of things.
UP NOT DOWN
UP AND DOWN
Beyond the apparent meaning of this expression, there is an inherent interpretation of the direction involved here.
a) At first sight, the expression indicates volatility, fluctuation and a constant or repetitious instability. Up and down, simply put in that sense, means a vertiginous swing beyond control and accurate predictability. Therefore, we must view the recovery in that light also. In this process of bouncing back, there will be Up and Downs at first. There will be that sense of uncertainty. However, do no
b) There is another way to look at the same expression, and, that is looking at it from the standpoint of direction. Up and down then, suggests that something went up at first and went down after. There was a great beginning and now there is a fatal ending. And, that is the plight of those who counted on the economy and the markets to rise and never fall. That was the false expectation that led to our shocking demise on september 29, 2008, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged below one thousand points in one single day to close at 777 points dow, the worst fall ever in the history of America. Things went up and up and up and then it went down.
c) Up and down on the way up and up and down on the way down mean this, in our volatility, we must determine our direction. The dizziness of volatility can distract our attention to its direction. let us not fall for that. follow the direction through your up and downs in life and determine which way is up and which way you are following.
DOWN AND UP
This is another view at volatility. It is not always up and down but it is also down and up.
