Philosophical Monday: Investments: Shares on the rise?

Investments:  Shares on the rise?

As investments increase are we more susceptible to loss?  Everyday individuals are giving.  Whether it is in relationships, in the workplace or on the street giving help to a mere stranger, it seems that we invest a lot in others.  If we as individuals are continually sourcing other methodologies for rewards are we left with an inevitable destiny of failure?  Obviously when someone emplaces so much of themselves into one thing we are destined to be returned with only the happiness that the investment has to offer.  Often these investments do not reap the rewards that were expected when the investment took place, and we are left stunned perhaps even paralyzed at whatever it was that drove us to invest all that we had in into one thing. 



It is because we dream.  If individuals never dreamed or never held a hope of a better tomorrow than we would not invest.  Investments are often calculated mathematical equations so foreign to a meaning that the question of its conversion becomes apparent and as such we would not position ourselves for the humiliating rejection of failure.  Just as we would never dream of liking someone that we never would have a chance with, we invest in liking someone that we do.  Still we are prone to the failure of our investment when the person you were so close of being with sells your shares-cheaper than there real worth.  Worst bit is they were your biggest buyer. 

It is only in the hindsight of the yesterday that we can truly realize the cost of our investments.  As the truths of the experiences of my investments speak openly I can only wonder why investments aren’t made in ourselves.  Perhaps the investments that are drawn from the sketch pads of our souls are less rewarding.  Truthfully I believe that we don’t value equally the investments that we have in ourselves.  Though how can we, when by no means is the risk we place in backing our own horse more than that of a new up comer.  Sometimes the gamble of our investments in others isn’t worth the true gamble – the gamble of our dignity-the gamble of ourselves.
