Recession, swine flu, El Nino, what's next?

well, we really cant counteract recession coz its a political and economic thing..and the swine flu...all we can do about this is to take care of our health and avoid having sickness and ppl who have this virus..about el nino, well idk..we have lots of water here since we're in a mountain, we can have spring water..

I don't usually feel depressed over such events, I feel like someone is challenging me to a fight and I'm going to win. Sure, times are bad and getting worse but I'm going to survive and thrive if it kills me. I found out long ago that looking at such things as depressing tragedies is self-destructive and your attitude is what feeds the negativity. A good fighting attitude and determination to keep your head above water will vastly improve things--you may not have more money but you'll be strong enough to enjoy each day of life and the people around you.

Times have been difficult all the time. If you read a little history, you will know about the different pests and illness that men had years ago. It´s not the first time that the world has been hit by recession either and we can start thinking how to live with a little less luxury. As for people dieing, people are dieing from hunger a long time before depression. How about doing something positibve to counteract depression? There is a link where you play an easy game. For each correct response, the United Nations gives rice to the hundry children. http://www.freerice.com/index.php Check it. You´ll even learn how much you have to play to feed someone one day. I play 10 minutes everyday. Not much, but it helps. Take care

I don't know what will come next but I do know that difficulties make people stronger and therefore take everything happening as a chance and think how to cope with it. Recession surely hit us hard and damage the economy and causes lots of job losses. But it also teaches us how important it is to be conservative when time is good and prepare for situation exactly like these. Swine flu is bad as it kills and affect how people interact with one another. But it also teaches us how important it is to maintain hygiene at all times and live a healthy life. El Nino is bad as it shifts the climate to extreme level for many cities but it also teaches us how powerful the nature is and we human, instead of combating against it, should really think the relationship between us and the nature.

good news will come.. we will be better than today...

Well,El Nino,bad news it is.But who is to blame for the recession and swine flu?.Its us.Even though,Swine flu is not a direct cause of us,its due to our mismanagement of pigs whatever the reason may be.Just take the case of HIV.Who is responsible for it? Recession,a term so overly used for a year or so.Ailing banks and incapable CEO's are to blame.After all,this is another human disaster.Although,economy is sailing upwards now. Next is what?.Natural or human disaster?.Today's world is all uncertain.

That is Life Scheing1, we encounter that kind of problem every single day. Recession happened because of too much people in debt and probably greed of some business man. Swine Flu is due to some disease that happened in Mexico, regarding meats, specifically pigs. El Nino is actually part of a natural Phenomena in weather situation, but due to this Global warming scenario, it seems that this is getting irregular per day..

Is there no Chinese superstition about asking what could happen next? LOL Things happen and we deal with them and keep living because there is no other option other than to completely shut down emotionally and psychologically or die. It may be a cliche to say when life hands you lemons make lemonade, but having a positive outlook and learning to see opportunity even in the wake of "natural" disaster is what will make it possible to thrive when experiencing adversity.

Hi Scheng. I think strings of bad things have happened throughout history, as well as strings of good things. But yes, I do get depressed that so many hardships or catastrophes follow one on top of another, moreso lately than in my whole life. Positive actions I personally take would be to protect myself from the flu, and if I get, stay home and do not expose others. As for the recession, I can take action to spend and save money very wisely and encourage others to do the same, and I can write letters to govt. officials to pass or turn down laws, whichever way would most benefit people world wide. And however I can, I can help others less fortunate than myself. Weather, well I believe the best one can do is run from dangerous weather, or take sensible precautions. Since global warming and polution effects many things, including the weather, I can do things that help the earth, not hurt it. Again, I can encourage others to do the same. Sometimes, unity between people and govts. is necessary to make the biggest impact for the good of all. Karen

End of the world. Jking. But really who knows, things are always happening.
