Every now and then, there has to be a fire in the forest

That´s what he said, my friend who came over for tea today.

We feel threatened when the forest is on fire. We want to put it out as quick as possible and stop its´advance - especially when it is ravaging close to our homes.

Forest-fires have always existed. Thanks to the fires, variety has been shaped in the forests for a long period of time. Nature is served by this. During the fire, nourishing substances are being released. From the heat and the nourishment, some new types of plants start to grow.

Maybe the same goes for financial crises. We feel threatened and want to stop its´ ravage as quick as possible, especially when the crisis approaches our bank accounts. However - to shape the society and make things grow in a new way, we need a break from the fast lane. New things will come out of this. We will survive.
