Merry Christmas from the Curious Capitalist family

2008, the year of unsurpassed turbulence by any benchmark, be it political, geological, economic or religious, is fast coming to an end.
Among others, the great bashing from the financial tsunami does not bode well for the coming New Year. For many, it will be a gloomy if not a melancholic 2009.

Perhaps it is time for us to sit down and ponder over the traumatic events in 2008. And the economic crisis, probably a blessing in disguise, has allowed us a golden opportunity to reflect on what had actually happened. Had we gone too far? Did we go too fast? Why must things unfold the way they did?

Blame it on our bottomless greed, or fault it on our insatiable craving for power if we wish, the truth is there is no end to such finger- pointing. The dark nature of human has reigned supreme right from the dawn of our civilization. Sad to say, it will continue.

Man had not learnt any lesson from history. Unless and until such day when we wake up enlightened, history will keep repeating itself.

This is, and will be, THE POIGNANT STORY OF MAN.
(Tan Boon Tee)

They didn’t have cans of fake snow at the dawn of civilization.

Unfortunately, our ancestors did not have the kind of knowledge and technology in this particular area then. Otherwise, they surely would.
