In this interactive world, where we should treat others as we would be treated, the mark of maturity is the ability to peacefully endure the behavior of those who knew us when we were younger.

Suffering the people who treat us by how we used to behave.

Global economics is like a game of Old Maid where debt is the Old Maid.
Eventually there will be a war where the winner will get to write off their debt and create a new economic system with themselves at the center of power. Starting the cycle all over again…

Unless a nation (or nations) grows up and accepts the responsibility no one else would dare take. Choosing to shoulder a smaller amount of localized suffering to prevent a larger amount of globalized madness.

Very similar, but on a international scale, to The Binding of Isaac.
