Loss, gain, and change (Philosophy)

"once one has lost everything they in turn gain everything"

When or where does loss begin
how does it relate to change?
when does gain step in?




I am looking for pieces mainly focusing on the philosophical side
though i am accepting anything relateing to the topic

just please know that pieces with strong moral and philosophical threads

are more likely to catch my eye


there is no limit on time or on words

though i am a huge fan of short sweet and intensely strong


please write your name in your AN
if you have read this


okay option 2

wisdom
i want to know what you think are the main components are

and to kick around this idea:
being wise is having the capacity to understand and extract the internal lessons and concepts that make up wisdom

it is another theory i am developing
would love to listen to any other views





oh I am no longer accepting Pw until i find someone who wishes to co judge with me

or

if you are willing

post a FW then send me the link of your PW and i will accept it

    i disagree

    "loss is an ingredient to static illness."

    loss, gain and indifference are the products of the illness which is living your life for the sake of other people.

    submitting to them, your fears of inferiority. and then your desire for superiority.

    Regain comes after loss.One has to gain something
    before one can lose it.(unless it's a part of the body) Having lost it you can only REgain it(not the body obviously) George
