What is worse than loosing all your money in gambling or in the stock market is not the money, but the emptiness inside of not being able to play anymore. You are out of the game. You can't play anymore because you do not have a stake. The feeling of emptiness inside of not being able to play anymore is what makes it unbearable.

Among the blossoms waits a jug of wine.
I pour myself a drink, no loved one near.
Raising my cup, I invite the bright moon
and turn to my shadow. We are now three.
But the moon doesn’t understand drinking,
and my shadow follows my body like a slave.
For a time moon and shadow will be my companions,
a passing joy that should last through the spring.
I sing and the moon just wavers in the sky;
I dance and my shadow whips around like mad.
While lucid still, we have such fun together!
But stumbling drunk, each staggers off alone.
Bound forever, relentless we roam:
reunited at last on the distant river of stars.

Li Bai (aka Li Po), poet from the Tang Dynasty

A great lesson from the story of THE LEGLESS BEGGAR
One day, a rich kid was walking with his dad when he saw an old legless beggar on the street, begging for alms. The boy stopped his dad immediately and walked up to the disabled beggar.
"Hey sir, can I ask you a question?" he asked him.
"Yes you can" the old man replied.
Then the boy said.
"What happened to your legs? Why are they missing?"
A look of shame showed on the dad's face as he whispered into his son's ears.
"Hey, you should never ask people inappropriate questions"
The old man heard it. He paused for a moment, then said to the little boy.
"Can I tell you a short story?"
The boy nodded his head. Then old man said.
"It's a true story about a young boy, and you should pay keen attention"
"Okay"
The old man started speaking.
"There was a boy who had a donkey he loved so much. He called him Banjo, and he was his best companion. One day, he went to bathe in the river and had taken the donkey with him for a bath. Unfortunately, a huge crocodile suddenly leaped out of the water and grabbed the donkey, dragging him deep in the water. The boy couldn't save his donkey. He screamed so hard as he watched poor Banjo being killed. He became so angry like a volcano. Burning with anger, he must wreak vengeance, so he jumped into the river to fight the ferocious crocodile. But it didn't turn out good as another crocodile attacked the boy and started devouring him... The end"
Having listened to the story, the kid wagged his head, then asked.
"So, what happened to the boy afterwards? Or was he also killed?"
The old man paused for a moment, then said.
"Over the years, that boy has grown into an old man and he is now me. I just told you a story about myself, thereby answering your question. I survived but lost both legs from the incident"
Both the father and son were marveled. Then the old beggar concluded.
"My story has a powerful lesson about anger and revenge, you should take away. You should learn to control your anger, or else you would be pushed to inflict vengeance, which would not only hurt others, but also yourself. I was so angry and desperate, I wanted that revenge so bad that I didn't realize how stupid I was. Anger can make you take stupid actions that you would live forever to regret. You see, if I had controlled my anger and walked home after the crocodile ate my donkey, I wouldn't be the 'legless beggar' you see today. It's important you learn to forgive those who hurt you, and move on with your life. Not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace.

When I say she’s a narcistic psychopath, everyone gets jumpy assuming that I am name-calling. I meant it in a clinical sense. She’s actually an amazing psychopath, but knowing so has helped me to better understand her unique and different emotional responses that I am not used to. So, you can better understand me my unique and different emotional responses, I am also an egotistical sociopath, in a clinical sense.

You came into my dream last night. Thank you for the passionate kisses, it was wonderful. It is everything I ever wanted. Thank you for visiting me in the dream.

Hot and Sweaty, I guess we finally really met in reality and shared a couple wonder days together.  Then through our better communication, I finally got to know you better. I am sorry you have to go and take care of your business, and I have to go and things to do as well.  Thank you for all the sweet kisses. Take care and I wish you all the success you dream.

I will carry fond memories of us as I travel through time. If I should go to William O'Brien State Park on day, I will see us as we were that Sunday, enjoying a carefree afternoon practicing PDO. Thank you for making it possible.

I finally figured why you are wired like that, and now I have a clear understand to give me peace. You're a psychopath, but you're an amazing psychopath.

I will always treasure our special story, and all the moments we gave to each other. I will never share those moments with anyone else because they are ours only. I will never take someone else to places that we went, because they belong to us. This was harder for me than you think, but I know this was much harder for you, and I am sorry. If we stay, in the future, it would even be harder. Maybe this is only a temporary break and we will meet again better, and maybe not. I will always love you through all the many upcoming journeys of my life. I will carry you in my heart, and when I come upon places that you and I have been, I will miss you very much. Thank you for agreeing to be friends.  - Love always,
