This isn't so much about the stock-market, because i don't understand how it works anyway. Its a lot more about investing time, effort, money and your feelings in people and friends.
Money is not a big deal, i've always believed in it. Thus, financial investments.. in stocks or people are not that big a deal...
But investing in people, exposing ourselves to them and letting ourselves be vulnerable around them is so much power given to an external source. Like our various OB discussions, this is an external locus of control (not good).
Investing in people fucks-up further when you think about how volatile the investment is, how easily all of it can result in naught and disappear without a trace.
We yet carry on, meeting new people investing in them.. exposing ourselves... usually getting disappointed....
...and then the churh next to home says
"Goodness is the only investment that never fails to return a dividend"
