Keep Running...

  Humans and animals in general are endowed with the inherent ability to sense threat by intution. However, this armour of nature is rendered useless when the enemy employs camouflage. Complacency is one of such kind.

  Haven't you been in a situation where everything seemed to be the way you always wanted it to be, only to realize a giant surprize you have never seen before, waiting ahead for you. I bet many of you could relate to. Some wise person quoted "If you find no obstacles in your path, you are probably heading the wrong way!"

  The victims of complacency's charms, were and are, not only mortal humans but also large organizations and systems. Even advanced economies and governments are not spared. For instance consider the "Lehman Brothers", which was such a big investment house. Who would have thought it would fall prey to its own creations with the gradual unmasing of the devil in the form of sub prime crisis and its after effects. The country with the most advanced and powerful defence establishment was attacked by the terrorists. And now, as many of you might be aware that a telecom giant and a network giant both seem to be in deep trouble. The Indian flag bearer of IT sector seem to be out of gas. And dwarfing all these is the probability of United States declaring a bankruptcy on August 3rd 2011. Thats right, coming Wednesday.

  This is the country whose currency has an universal acceptance as a bankable representation of wealth; equivalent to that of gold. The country which is considered as one of the super powers. The country which is considered to be one of the most technologically advanced. Who would have thought such a country's government would have to face a time when it would not be able to pay its own bills! And all those who had godly belief in this country's ability to handle situations are worrying day and night now. Such is the power of complacency. Once trapped, it is not easy to get out of its maze. This devil always drops its pretty mask towards the end.
