Wrong Thinking

Well, I assume that everyone has heard about the problems that we are having here in Iceland at the moment. I can tell you right now 60% of that you have heard is most likely wrong or distorted.


Yes we are having problems about money and jobs and lots of other things, but we are not starving and nothing is missing from the stores, everything is going just like it was except we are not buying our 4 -5 cars and not spending as much on stuff that we don’t really need. Rather we spent on food, clothes, gas and other stuff. Some families have lost everything and are now bankrupt. Many workers, like me, have lost their jobs, not because there is no work, only the people can’t pay because the banks are not loaning any money today. So the building industry is falling bits by bits, I can, though, say that we all are a bit afraid because the companies that people work for can go 6 feet under so no one is safe if he is going to have his job next week. What is happening to our country is just because of 20 men who got too greedy and bankrupted this country.

Despite these problems we are not panicking and buying tons of stuff and saving it like the squirrels or some other animals. A lot of people are thinking just like me, “Why worry about something you can’t control?“ So that is exactly what I am going to do and I hope you will too because life is way too short to worry about these things.

Thank You
