Wise words of the week:
“Time is the chief difficulty of every problem in economics”
-Alfred Marshall as quoted by A. Reisman, Prof. in Health Economics
Thinking of the weekend seems small when you’re writing about the US and EU national debt and potential exchange rate crisis. I find it ironic when thinking about it. I feel as if with whatever we do or chose to do, we are almost always meant to either destroy or fix what we ourselves have created. The only difference is within what dimension or arbitrary lines we are doing it. We create things for which there are imperfections in need of constant mending. But hey, maybe that’s life. It is probably the only thing which still makes us humans and not god like.

Now, perfection may be an idea out of our reach, but maybe that is just what we need it to be. The beauty of things is in its flaws and its broken parts, not what we render as whole. If there were no flaws in the systems we build what would we do? Consider everything being perfect... It’s a scary thought and maybe too philosophical and deep for it to even be healthy to think about. But nonetheless I do in a way hope we never have to reach the point where perfection is in everything and everyone because that in itself wouldn’t be healthy. There is too much pressure in such a life.
It’s weird to say, but I think these last weeks have truly made me love the fact that I chose to study economics! There is always a new problem, something in need of fixing. I feel as though there is a purpose in it… something I feel we all need! But hey, then again, there is always that problem with time! How do we learn everything? How do we stay in tune with these issues without losing the ability to live? I guess that’s another thing to figure out… But in due time of course, for now I’m going to enjoy a nice bit of partying on a helipad on the roof of a 73 story building with a view of Singapore in the night! ; )
So till next time, here are some of those pictures I promised!
All the best from Singapore!
