I must admit that this is a fairly new development for me so I’m not a great example. I’ve spent years wanting to change things and feeling a similar sense of frustration. But recently I’ve started to see things in a different way.

Here’s a hypothesis: Chess is a game in which we have a direct influence over the pattern of the board and can clearly change things with every move. With markets, on the other hand, we must ride them rather than fight them. So perhaps an interest in markets can give birth to a different approach to life, though in my case it has taken some time to show through.

Newton – I had never thought of good and evil in that way. I can certainly understand what you mean and thank you very much for sharing you perspective. Perhaps the challenge is for good to take the same focused approach but maybe this is impossible. My optimistic and hopeful side says that which is good in us will prevail.

Congratulations on your child! This strenght patience required to save money for 3 years will benefit him im all the areas of his life.

My boy (son) is coming soon, in about 3 weeks, and I too have many concerns about the kind of world he is stepping in.

Some of these days I was talking to a dear friend, about the problems we face today in the world and the problems that’s ahead, in store for a near future. It seems like that situation when you enter in a public transportation and the seats were already taken. They got there first. This is the feeling I have: the “evil” got there first. “They” had plenty of time to organize themselves into this world machine.

But then we realized that it was not the case.

Good people and bad people were always in the world. So, how things came to this point? I suggested that’s because the nature of the feeling we have while in good or evil. Think about it: what’s the feeling when someone is harmonized? It is soothing, calm, mild, relaxing – one wants just to sit in silence and contemplate what is.

The feeling when someone is in a bad mood – say, planing a vengeance – is focused, competitive, organized, practical, step-by-step reasoning.

Therefore “evil” people, by the very nature of they’re states of mind, ORGANIZE, while good people, harmonized, spiritual people, don’t.

There are some bad things so pervasive in our modern world, so interconected, that one thinks: “How that hapent that the good ones didn’t see this coming?” The answer is twofold: it was implemented in increments and to SEE this coming would require an “evil” mind. To acknowledge it.

So you see why I’m so bearish about human beings. The world is such that the evil guys seem to have always an uphand.

Nevertheless, I pray for the Divine to see our sorrows and help us.

Best Regards,

Newton.
