A fantastic documentary about greed, happiness, Buddhism, and eternal life. Is our capitalist way of life making us happy, it seems not? Even with more and more possessions we are still not fulfilled and keep on buying new things to get that short lasting thrill.
ReplyDeleteBut are we trying to bury the thought of our deaths when we buy more and more things we don't need, or when we are always desperately trying to have more fun? According to the documentary makers it isn't just me that gets morbid about death more often than I would like. (Alcohol is a good temporary solution but it doesn't last, sadly). The documentary says how we feel spiritual but it irks us when realise that we aren't so different from the animals.
Go to 1:14:00 to see what it says about death if you don't have time to watch the documentary but are interested in that part.
It also talks about a psychologist who is studying stockbrokers. He has software programs simulating investing and most people stop when the risks get too big, but the stockbrokers just keep on going until it all goes bang. He says it's only a matter of time until the financial system crashes again.
There's one Caiman Islands Swiss banker who alerted his management about the criminals using the bank and the money laundering going on. They fired him. He then sent a CD off with all the evidence on to the Swiss tax authorities and he ended up being followed everywhere by black cars which really scared him. He says how some Swiss bankers working in the Caiman Islands have ended up dead. He eventually did two and a half years in prison, much of it in solitary confinement. He says he learnt the hard way how governments always protect their biggest earning companies.
