Feelings

Today I finally finished the second part to AmericanTheocracy. The book quotes a critic that mentions Americans want and need devastation to feel closer to God.

It's an interesting comment considering what we see on TV but also something fundamentally different between gambling and investing.

In gambling there is a certain rush, a certain feeling one gets that has nothing to do with reality.

While investing, you put in your time of research and have expectations of a satisfactory return.
