what happens when.....

One hears people talking of the economic meltdown nowadays, but do we really understand the repercussions? A respectable, hard working person, suddenly left without a job tries to deceive himself and others that he is still employed by hiding behind a crumbling facade of self confidence. Pity, since most of us also have our own facades that we keep building or repairing all the time and we do not have time or inclination to see the lost potential. If we did, then maybe, there won't be an economic meltdown.
