Recession, in many ways, is similar to acidity.
All of us keep eating various kind of food items everyday; which leads to acidity in the end. Sometimes, we even eat few things which we can not digest. Then, as a precautionary measure, for some time, we keep ourselves away from almost all kinds of foods, with a resolution like "ok! now onwards I shall not eat this and that. It is bad for my health." But irony is, we repeat the same mistake and we face it again and again; and we all know why? But anyways it is good of our health to avoid consumption for some time as a natural cycle of good food habit. It clears our stomach and it heals the damage cause to the precious digestive system. In the end, the acidity make us a bit more aware about our health and it provides a lesson for others too who learn by watching. Although, every time, it is not only a single person who suffers because of acidity but it affects the whole family food menu. Thus, every one in the family pays a price for it. And if, he is a senior member of the family (uncle) who is suffering then the whole family has to avoid delicious food for some days. Thus, it increases awareness of almost everyone in the family and thus leads to a health conscious family. Did you understand my point?
Recession gives us a better understanding about the goal of every company i.e.-->Profit and maintaining profitability. Although, there is nothing wrong in it; and we should not feel bad about it. It assures better economy and it is good for all of us. It leads us to think over our skill-sets and credentials; and above all, it assures a better future and a stable economy in the end.
I have felt/watch recession closely. I was in US when recession was in its youth. I saw lots of people who did not lit up lights and candles around their houses during Chrismas and ThanksGiving celebration. People were spending less. A rich country like America was hit worst and other friend countries also accompanied this country during its bad time. We all paid a price for that. The blame game still continues;recession is an old lady on it death bed now; but she has something good for all of us.
My gain was "a life time experience". Recession made me think of my strategies and in other words, now I am a bit more serious about growth of global economy and its effect on my life as an individual. I would like to make my self , my people and my country to handle such kind of situations in a better way. Recession spread like swine flu and affected us in some or other ways.
If you think deeply, then you will come to know "Recession is a state of mind reflected on various graphs of economies all over the globe". It is natural reaction of various minds and thoughts over an acidity like condition in global economy. A economy which signifies the health of a country. And we all know who is suffering with acidity. It's Uncle Sam !!
