financial crisis

[zoegirl]

Heard a brilliant quote from Ravi Zacharias on the radio today. He was talking about all of the criticism about the financial companies who take advantage, use unethical practices etc. He was asked by a journalist about the crisis when he asked the reporter this (and I am paraphrasing)

what do we expect when these graduates have been taught over the last decade that there are no moral absolutes, that morality is relative and then graduate to go onto financial companies to make money...and then we are surprised when they are unethical?

Reminds me of the CS Lewis quote...

We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."'

Both wonderful speakers

We are reaping what we are sowing...
