"In 1923, seven men who had made it to the top of the financial success pyramid met together at the Edgewater Hotel in Chicago. Collectively, they controlled more wealth than the entire United States Treasury, and for years the media had held them up as examples of success.

Who were they? Charles Schwab, president of the world's largest steel company, Arthur Cutten, the greatest wheat speculator of his day, Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, Albert Fall, a member of the President's Cabinet, Jesse Livermore, the greatest bear on Wall Street, Leon Fraser, president of the International Bank of Settlement, and Ivan Kruegger, the head of the world's largest monopoly.

What happened to them? Schwab and Cutten both died broke; Whitney spent years of his life in Sing Sing penitentiary; Fall also spent years in prison, but was released so he could die at home; and the others Livermore, Fraser, and Kruegger, committed suicide."

:Donald McCullogh, "Waking from the American Dream"


MORAL: Finding a way to the top is just a minor battle victory. Remaining at the top is what wins the war!

Their heyday and their end- we can't actually correlate it and call it Karma. There are many ordinary people who meet similar kind of fate in the sunset of  their lives. It is just different phases of life. The body and the mind wears out, and succumbs to many devils which it has been defeating all his life. That is it, I guess.

As the saying goes " Nothing falls like success" . The further up you go , the louder will the thud be when you fall on the ground and the more deadly will the consequence be. Empires rose and died to the dust and nothing lasts for ever . The karmic cycle takes its toll and we have no escape.

मेरो गाउँका भक्तेदाई जति धेरै  बढेको आँधिखोला पनि तर्न सक्छु र मान्छे तार्न सक्छु भन्ने सोच्थे । उनले धेरै आफ्नो जीवनमा हजारौँ मान्छेलाई आँधीखोला तारे अनि बचाए पनि । तर अपशोस, ४५ वर्षे भक्तेदाइको मृत्यु निस्कँदो बर्षाका अन्तिम दिनताक खोलापनि त्यति डरलाग्दो नबढेको बेला खोलाले बगाएर नै भएछ । दूर्भाग्य न त उनको खूबी न त उनले बचाएका मान्छेहरू नै उनको सहयोगी हुन पुगे । यो विडम्बना ने मान्न पर्छ , सुदिनमा मान्छेको खूबी भनिएको कुरा दूर्दिन लागेको बेला उसको कमजोडी बन्न जान्छ , संसार विचित्र छ !

just want to add something: permission granted?  yes? ok! :D

being in top definitely sounds gr8. BUT, every top has a bottom, every up has a down  & whatever/whoever reaches the top ,has to come to the bottom again. so,

ALWAYS TREAT PEOPLE NICELY ON THE WAY UP , 'COZ YOU ARE LIABLE TO MEET THEM AGAIN ON THE WAY DOWN.

Karma is a very deep and significant word that cannot be simplified or addressed by a mere paragraph. The names of those people who attained dizzy heights of the American Dream are just a handful compared to those who failed to attain it. All ladders to success have to lean against a wall, meaning you need the help of others to pull yourself up, step by step. At the same time, our destiny has been written on our foreheads at the time of birth. But this written destiny can be made to change its course by our actions, good or bad. Based on which side the scale of justice tips, the end result is meant to be. No one can remain on the top forever. Everything in life is transitory. There is nothing permanent. It is the Will of the Universe. The more good we do for others, the higher the deposit grows in the Karmic bank account. And at specified periods of our life, God will grace us with His Dividends. The more Dividends we accumulate, we will be blessed with an easier parting. You see, nothing belongs to us. Everything and eveyone who comes into our lives are on "rental". So, what went wrong with such amazingly successful people? Study their lives in detail, and you will see an uncanny similarity in their lifestyle. God bless us all with a good, clean and peaceful death. Amen.
