The main character has mastered the art of seduction by remaining emotionally detached from his desire for women. Sounds like the guy I dated in college!!!

You know, like ringing the bell on JDSU in April. Those who have ears, let them hear. LOL!!! Insofar as I view money as representative of little slices of my life that I have sold off to others in lieu of what I would rather be doing, it is hard not to have some emotional attachment. Very bad. You've got gambling fever. You can't beat that game. You have to quit and examine what you're doing. However, that concept reminds me of the movie "The Tao of Steve" (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0234853). The main character has mastered the art of seduction by remaining emotionally detached from his desire for women. If you can't remain detached from money, you'll never end up with any. If you find that to be absurd, then you have a lot of suffering ahead. Thanks for the tips, maybe I will somehow figure out how to make more than minimum wage someday. Nope. You should quit gambling immediately. Quitting would require what our era doesn't have, fortitude in conviction. Quitting would require that you buy and hold JDSU.

How you got the money makes no difference. Money is a metaphysical object. There seems to be a fundamental error in being emotionally attached to it, don't you think? However, that concept reminds me of the movie "The Tao of Steve" (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0234853). The main character has mastered the art of seduction by remaining emotionally detached from his desire for women. Not the same concept. Emotional attachment to a person with whom one is intimate is not a fundamental error. (What might be an error is the intimacy - there are issues of clarity, if not honesty, here). ............. General comment. Money has a potential emotional hook because one of its components is an infinitely repeated 'promise' that what what it buys today, it will buy tomorrow. This is an extremely limited promise, even when it's 'kept'. To see anything else in money is to fall into variations of the Midas error.
