Ultimately what it boils down to is that we are all living in a complete illusion. Recession, I mean what is it really? It's a marketing word designed to make people save rather than spend.
I remember flying from Cyprus to France 3 years ago when we were in 'recession' , I looked out of the window and I saw beautiful hills and villages majestic mountains and serene lakes and not a single recession in sight.
If we learn to discard the fear and live in just the moment, never looking into the future, especially the one which is created for us by the negative media, then we learn to live, love and experience the present.
