Is the distribution of Money in the world, the rules in sports, & the investing of money; fair in life?
a No or a YES…. or I don’t know?
The world is truly illusionary with the amount of rationality & logic that can be tipped off a cliff in infinite instances.
Just look at it
- The distribution of World Wealth into the hands of a few (Oxfam report source – 42 million people, or 0.8 percent of the world’s population, have net worths in excess of $1 million. This group is roughly the global 1% & controls 44.8% of the world’s wealth – Distribution of Money… Is it fair or not ?
- The absurd rules in sports which might not have a base of rationality (e.g. in the game of cricket, a No Ball is declared when the fielding side breaks certain pre set conditions – like, if the # of fielders outside the inner circle are more than the required # of fielders to be present when a bowler delivers the ball. Good, that the bowling side is penalised for it by giving up an extra run, an additional ball to be bowled & the batsman is not given out (if so). But the absurdity is that, a batsman can be given out if he hits this delivered ball, tries to squeeze a run & can’t make it to the other end – Now, is this fair or not?, especally when there are fielding restrictions but the bowling team ignores this rule and ends up with an advantage. Isn’t this rule a bit illogical? Is it fair to the batting side or not?
- The amount of money lost by investing into ridiculous investment schemes, owing to one’s own misunderstanding of the product or one’s own behavioral patterns – ridiculous amount of wealth goes down the drain. Why? Is this fair or not?
Well, thats what is Money, Sports & Investing…..losing sometimes & winning sometimes for things which might be under our control or not.
But over a time period, all these square up & get even.
Do they for all?
Maybe No, Maybe Yes….I don’t know?
Is that karma?
Maybe No, Maybe Yes….I don’t know?
As long as one follows the rules & keeps moving the scoreboard, its going to be a decent positive outcome.
But yes, some times things just don’t end up on our side; but, maybe, the need of the hour is to amend some rules of the game for a better equation….as is with the Run Out & the No Ball…..
No Run Out when the basic fielding rules are broken
No Investment Returns when the basic Investing rules are broken
