Idiosyncrasy

Speculation is full of riddles.

Trading is full of problems.

Coveting a woman is full of risk.

Solving the riddles,

Overcoming the problems

And braving the risk

Are the sources of pleasure.

To invent riddles to solve,

To create problems to overcome,

And to assume risk to come through

Are man’s idiosyncrasy-

To create difficulties

For the pleasure of solving them.
