I believe:

I believe:
-That we people can only survive by cleverly pursuing our own interests.
-That the most intelligent way of pursuing one's interest is by cooperating with others.
-That stupidity is not a harmless quirk to be ridiculed, but a crime against humanity
-That life is a precious gift that we must strive to make better
-That to do so everyone must first know oneself one's deepest desires which are divine sparks of inspiration to guide us towards our purpose.
-That by striving to make one's life better you can truly appreciate this precious gift and love yourself, because how can you love your neighbour as you love yourself if your love for yourself is negligible, but if your love of yourself rises to the sky then your love for your neighbour could be just as great.
-And there is no greater profit for yourself than having the love and support of your neighbour the alternative being indifference just as death is indifferent or worse bent to harass or even destroy us which is the biggest danger because if his intelligence or not.
Because intelligence is bound to tend towards cooperation not conflict and war!

China and Russia Facing Tough Choices

China’s unique experiment 30 years successful capitalist development under the rule of the communist party. Bearing in mind the capitalist development was with massive US help and the communist party was very open minded unlike others it worked.

On the other hand Russia disbanded the communist party altogether but suffered from criminal privatization and political instability to swing towards stronger central government reclaiming its stake in the economy.
Now with falling oil prices the Russian government won't be able to bribe the population into submission and will face popular protests.

With economic stagnation in the US and other major markets Chinese leaders face the same predicament.

From the way they manage this precarious situation will depend the pace of recovery for the rest of the world. Or not?
