Crisis

This weekend I went on a trip to the ''Sierra'' (more mountains again) with the church. The main theme was the crisis, the physical and the espiritual one. We talked a lot about the lost values of the today's society and the vicious circle of the avarice and the need of money. The crisis, both, aren't free. Some people get rich at the expense of others hard work. And those things are what feed the enormous difference between rich and poor people,and this last are lastly becoming more and more numerous.
We also turned the situation around and tryied to see the crisis like something good. Why? Because in these decadent moments, creativity comes out and allow us to have new, better solutions. And if we face this crisis with a good face, always triyng to see the good side and never giving up, we have it made my friends. 'Cause the best about a crisis is the teaching after getting over it and the stength we got in this difficult process.
I'm very tired, but I just wanted to get you an Albert Einstein's article, which was published in a newspaper at the time of the 29's Wall Street's Crack. I think he, with a few simple lines, explaines everything.
(I'm soooo sorry but I only found it in spanish... hope you can understand/translate it!)

No pretendamos que las cosas cambien si seguimos haciendo lo mismo. La crisis es la mejor bendición que puede sucederle a personas y países porque la crisis trae progresos. La creatividad nace de la angustia como el día nace de la noche oscura. Es en la crisis que nace la inventiva, los descubrimientos y las grandes estrategias. Quien supera la crisis se supera a sí mismo sin quedar "superado".
Quien atribuye a la crisis sus fracasos y penurias, violenta su propio talento y respeta más a los problemas que a las soluciones. La verdadera crisis es la crisis de la incompetencia.
El inconveniente de las personas y los países es la pereza para encontrar las salidas y soluciones. Sin crisis no hay desafíos, sin desafíos la vida es una rutina, una lenta agonía. Sin crisis no hay méritos.
Es en la crisis donde aflora lo mejor de cada uno, porque sin crisis todo viento es caricia.
Hablar de crisis es promoverla, y callar en la crisis es exaltar el conformismo. En vez de esto trabajemos duro.
Acabemos de una vez con la única crisis amenazadora que es la tragedia de no querer luchar por superarla.

Albert Einstein  (1879 - 1955)
