The Credit Crunch and Happiness

That Robert Peston has been busy lately, I reckon he's got a sleeping bag in the BBC Newsroom and is living off pot noodles and BBC sandwiches! Still, it's an ill wind that doesn't blow anybody any good... One thought around is that the banking crisis could set off another "depression" like we had after the Wall Street crash of the late 20's, awful suffering, hardship, privation. Not the kind of thing that BBC Three viewers were looking forward to once they'd got their degree in sociology and moved out of the safety of the family home. but one upside could be that we get a more realistic view of the world back in the media instead of the celebrity wannabe super rich lifestyle sludge that seems to dominate our world view lately. Wall Street got drunk and now we are all having to sober up, knuckle down and get back to - doing things that make us happy like working to achieve goals, gardening to feed the family, making our own entertainment. Oh my god, I sound like my dad! As we know wealth does not necessarily bring happiness, so a downturn won't necessarily make us depressed. It's time to focus on the things in life which are truly important and maybe this is just what we all need!
