So my house sale is now back on! This is probably the worst time in recent history to be someone trying to sell a house! Actually, that makes it the best time in recent history to BUY a house. I just wish I were on the other side. So, I’m a realtor, and I can say that I feel the pain of everyone trying to sell right now.
Hopefully with our economic situation, the same will apply? I have no idea. I just know that I’m nervous and there is a lot of fenagling to do with the numbers to make it right. OR, we reap what was sown now. Whatever the solution, I hope it leads to a permanent fix and not just a band-aid for us to fix in a worse situation in the future.
So, who is benefitting from all this? With a downturn, who is catching the ride on the upturn. Should we all invest in bonds and get our victory gardens organized? Where is our national spirit? Maybe, we could all start by helping our neighbors? Maybe this is a sign that with so many people in trouble, that there are lots of people that need help? Maybe we could build our communities again? Reconnect with each other and living within our means. Maybe we could stop out of control consumerism? Buy local, “make, or forsake” as Actress Chick (Darryl Hannah) encourages.
Am I gullable, too nice, easy to pull the wool over my eyes? Why do people lie? Lie to pacify, justify, validify… if that’s a word. How can a person look you straight in the eye and lie? Is their life so filled with worse things that a lie is nothing to them?
I tried to justify and not label a lie “a lie.” After all, I’ve lied to myself in the past, not realizing the reality of a situation. How do you work with someone caught in the terrible situation of lying?
Definately NOT GOOD.
