If it was anything that came out of my education in Economics, it sure wasn't that of Keynes' theory of aggregate demand and supply (*gulp* got visuals of the graphs already). What I do remember of Keynes was his dismissal of all events in the long run.
And it struck me today, that that is sooooo true. With things changing so rapidly, what is permanent? Practically nothing.
Certainly not your job. Not all friendships...relationships? Hell no!
It's weird. I've always hated change, and I still do. But at this point in my life, where nothing is going to be what it is in 6 months' time, I've come to terms, albeit grudgingly, with this state of ephemeral confusion and chaos.
Makes me wonder that sometimes, should I just live for the moment and abandon all thoughts of "how will this affect me down the road? what long term thinking and investment? Should you invest long term in a career? In a relationship?
What's the point anyway? If it doesn't work - NEXT!
All that carpe diem crap does make sense and when things hit you good while you are carpe diem-ing... it is really good. And when shit hits the fan, so what? Things will all even out anyway.
So Mr. Keynes does have a point doesn't he?
"In the long-run, we're all dead"
