A wonderful read
Jason, that was a wonderful read. As a non-techie, I liked the philosophy bit, though you may refer to Hindu mythology for more in-depth understanding, without necessarily believing in that religion. A few pointers therefrom:
1. The Holy Trinity in Hinduism consists of the Creator (Lord Brahma), the Preserver (Lord Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Lord Shiva) together. So for this world, all three facets are necessary.
2. To create something, something else has to be destroyed or its form changed.
3. To win something (say great wealth), you need to lose something (maybe peace of mind).
4. This beautiful world was created out of immense chaos and churn, which are thus not necessarily bad things.
5. The churning of the ocean (in Hindu mythology) produced not only nectar (the desirable things) but also poison (the undesirable or dangerous things). So no churn or change produces only the desired results.
6. Last but not the least, everything is transient, including work-relationships. An office is more like a railway train with your co-passengers changing at every stop and you, too, getting down at some stop. A recession is also, mercifully, transient!
Do keep writing such great stuff!
