Somewhere Someone's Dying
"Whenever disturbing news is delivered to you, bear in mind that no news can ever be relevant to your reasoned choice. Can anyone break news to you that your assumptions or desires are wrong? No way! But they can tell you someone died — even so, what is that to you?"
— Epictetus, Discourses
Today's meditation is quite deep and I think that it can also be quite sensitive to some of us and a little harsh too maybe?
Some time ago, my thoughts were with those who were trying to find a young missing person on the Spanish island of Tenerife. I can't really do much to help, but it doesn't mean that I don't have sympathy either.
I certainly can't compare today's meditation to trading, that's for sure!
