If a pot can multiply. one day nasrudin lent his cooking pots to a neighbour, who was giving a feast. the neighbour returned them, together with one extra one – a very tiny pot. 'what is this?' asked nasrudin. 'according to law, i have given you the offspring of your property which was born when the pots were in my care,' said the joker. shortly afterwards nasrudin borrowed his neighbour's pots, but did not return them. the man came round to get them back. 'alas!' said nasrudin, 'they are dead. we have established, have we not, that pots are mortal?'.

The difference between recession and depression is simple. recession, goes the saying, is when you lose your job; depression is when i lose mine.

Panic. you open your mouth. open it so wide your jaws creak. you order your lungs to draw air, now, you need air, need it now. but your airways ignore you. they collapse, tighten, squeeze, and suddenly you're breaithing through a drinking straw. your mouth closes and your lips purse and all you can manage is a croak. your hands wriggle and shake. somewhere a dam has cracked open and a flood of cold sweat spills, drenches your body. you want to scream. you would if you could. cut you have to breathe to scream. panic.

For us christians, love of neighbour springs from love of god; and it is its most limpid expression. here one tries to love one's neighbour, but also to allow oneself to be loved by one's neighbour. these two attitudes go together, one cannot be exercised without the other. printed on the letterhead of the missionaries of charity are these words of jesus: "as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me". loving god in our brethren and loving our brethren in god.

In the large sense the primary cause of the great depression was the war of 1914-1918. without the war there would have been no depression of such dimensions. there might have been a normal cyclical recession; but, with the usual timing, even that readjustment probably would not have taken place at that particular period, nor would it have been a "great depression.
