Don't cry: there's gotta be a morning after

My dear comrades, don't cry, don't feel too sad and don't give up! I know you have lost a lot of your hard-earned money through no fault of yours. Yes, the devils in Wall Street have won the war! But what can you do? We can't even rebel against the devils and their friends.

Remember one very important point: Money is nothing but figures floating in the air. Cash, stock, bonds, commodities and all other investments and speculations are in substance empty shadows. At this moment of both tragedy and comedy, the words of Mother Teresa come into my mind:

"Once the longing for money
comes, the longing also comes
for what money can give -
superfluous things. Our needs will
increase, for one thing leads to
another and the result will be
endless dissatisfaction."
God, if you can help us, please help us now.
