FEAR is a state of mind - or THOUGHTS. I CHOOSE what to THINK. No one can control MY THOUGHTS unless I give them authority to. FEAR can hurt me if I give it POWER.

I refuse to participate in the FEAR OF POVERTY currently gripping many Americans - and spreading like a contagion around the world.

As Dr. Hill tells us, the 1929 stock market crash did not directly cause the “Great Depression” - it was the FEAR OF POVERTY which caused people to surrender their common sense and take unwise actions.

FEAR caused people to listen to the peddlers of FEAR and give over their control to them. There are many who use FEAR of LOSS to market their wares: not just merchants, but religious and political leaders as well.

Asking government officials to handle economic problems FOR me is a mistake, no matter what their party or ideological affiliation. These people seek POWER for POWER’S sake, and employ FEAR to get it.

Powerful people - whether bankers, politicians, bureaucrats, business tycoons, or media moguls - infected by MONEY MADNESS, become self-destructive. They ignore their fiduciary responsibilities to those who gave them their power, and “forget the face of their Fathers”.

Those who worship MONEY as GOD will do anything to get more, sacrificing the long-term stability of a system for short-term gain. This GREED will destroy ANY system: communism, socialism, even capitalism.

The answer? I can only answer for myself - living my life with honor and integrity and affecting the lives of others, one at a time. I WILL NOT give POWER to fear, anger, hate, or despair - those result in self-destruction.

As for politicians, the cure is an amendment: ONE TERM per office - serving the PEOPLE, rather than the self-interest of re-election.

My creed: Putting PEOPLE FIRST - conducting ONLY transactions which benefit ALL parties concerned. When more and more of us conduct our businesses and lives this way, we will lead the way to truth, honor, and beauty.

Your Friend Always,
