“The story is true and the man isn’t dead yet. In fact, he seems perfectly happy.”

I love the moral of this story. On reflection there is a lot that Laszlo has gained here. (1) He is at peace without the burden, fear and responsibilities of that money he lost. (2) His story has stimulated others in action around the world to feed the poor (3) Those who do not reflect and think that by holding on they will grow richer are poor in reality.

This story reflects with many of us around the world. We buy shares, property, gold, antiques etc - mainly for security and sell at a profit or at least realise what we put in. After selling the market shoots up, but it brings no regrets for those who reflect. They are still happy with their decision. Others hurt - and that is stupidity.
