To struggle against human nature
When I decided to court the stock market in all my fanfare, I imagined a slow and smooth ride to some extra earning. What I didn’t expect is a spiraling dark path against an ancient foe. To sleep with la femme fatale, requires the coming to terms with my own barbaric desires.
La chase, is the most fundamental behavior of human, or any animal still procreating on earth if you think about it. Got a dog or a cat? Stand still, then run away from it, it will follow. The emotions that overwhelm you when a limited supply of hot goods is slowly dripping away from you can lead to an explosion of unreasonable needs.
Yet, once you fucked with the desire to chase, there’s still the need to kiss Greed. Greed is the one that locks you up in chains and urges you on to take on more beating, to endure more pain as the prices soar to a record high. It speaks to you in challenging tones in order to appease your competitive nature to maximize your desire to perform. Giving you a false sense of trust that are reciprocated by the hightened sense of umph… Until the codeword is given and everyone came crashing back down to reality.
Meet Hope at last, the gaisha with a poison hairpin who whispers and promises you all sort of possibilities that can never be to dim your pain and wash away your tears. Although I’ve always regarded money as anything but important in my life. I feel sorry for myself at having these three powerful sources swirling within me. It is transforming me in ways I didn’t expect and affecting the way I feel, live and interact with people. I can only hope that I will emerge with a mastery over these fundamentals instead of becoming a slave to their whims. Think you are tough enough? Put all your savings in a stock, watch it go down and examine how you feel. (By the way, that’s a stupid idea)
