Euro crisis looms even larger

Instability in both France and The Netherlands could well rock the Euro boat.

This will come on top of the problems in Greece, Italy and Spain.

I can't believe that we will ever see our 'loan' of 10 billion to the IMF again.

At some point the Euro is bound to crash. We need to tighten our seat belts. There will be massive financial reprocussions.

Here's the situation in Holland  - that in France is much in the news already.

 Here the suicide of a 77 year old pharmacist shocked the Greek nation:

 All very sober making reading.

Those of us that have the ability to reflect on what is happening around us - beyond our immediate location and affairs need to strengthen ourselves to deal with the enormous instabilities that lie ahead.

I am deeply disturbed that many very intelligent people lack the maturity to digest what is happening in the wider world. Instead they focus entirely on what is happening in the own homes and the superficial happenings around them - football, television, the Olympics and Facebook.

Even the current local elections offer little more than party posturing, with voters poised to choose based on who can make the glossiest presentation. I can feel the pressure myself.

We all need to develop as well rounded individuals who can operate at different levels at all times.
