There is a great expectancy that I feel and I am always consciousness of others; we are helpers one to another. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I had not heard of the abandoned car story, but if people can just walk away from their homes they will most certainly walk away from their cars. I have seen the former a lot.Judith Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593319882150923231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209091428880958270.post-88055429015356606952009-02-02T17:59:00.000-05:002009-02-02T17:59:00.000-05:00So true Judith.

Hey, did you read the news article on "abandoned cars in the UAE airport"? <BR/><BR/>Apparently, around 80 (or more) cars owned by expats were found to be abandoned outside an International airport in UAE. They were registered to Indians, mostly engineers who lost their jobs as a result of this economic crisis. <BR/><BR/>Unable to pay off their debts because of loosing their jobs provoked them to flee from the country. <BR/><BR/>I recall an Ethiopian friend of mine who was in tears as he lost his job. He said, "When the world was enjoying, we were still suffering and hoping to gain help via recognition. Now, the world is suffering, but it is us, the poor ones who are summoned to hell. The rich remain unaffected. Yet again, we are unable to benifit from anything". The employers told him that they couldn't afford his, frankly cheap services any more. <BR/><BR/>I can relate to your feelings via this post.Opaquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673267899145564334noreply@blogger.com
