Thanks for your story, I appreciate you sharing it.
I agree with you about the only constant in life being change. I think it's even older than buddhism, I seem to recall it was Heraclitus who put it as "change is the only permanence".
As for the OP, I hope he stops taking losing investor money so personally. The investors knew well they bought a lottery ticket. Had OP succeeded, the investors would, of course, have gladly taken their part of that upside. Now, he didn't, and they lost their ticket money. And that's all it was: ticket money, their fee for getting to play the game. I sympathize with what he's going through, and hope he'll get through.
- metaperl 14y ago> I agree with you about the only constant in life being change Change and motion are apparent. The only constant in life is LIFE ITSELF, which is stated as: 1 - balance (if one word is enough) 2 - rhythmic balance (if two words will do) 3 - rhythmic balanced interchange (if 3 words are necessary) or cold still white magnetic light = life itself = rest = balance... Change and motion are false information gained by sensing. I will now step down off my Walter Russell soapbox and humbly request you read "The Secret of Light" by aforesaid :)
- raleec 14y agoSmall nitpick: Buddha(563 BCE-483 BCE (aged 80) or 411 and 400 BCE) predates Heraclitus(535 BC-475 BC), but your point definitely stands, as I'm sure that realization predates recorded history.
