The fact that we felt compelled to let our oldest employee go has been constantly on my ind since we did it on Friday. Strangely enough, as a result of his termination, I feel somehow less secure myself even though I am a co-owner. Why? Perhaps because his dismissal is incontrovertible evidence of anicca. There will be a hole in our company that will take time to fill and, even now, we cannot know the implications of our decision. May we all find true refuge and lasting happiness. May all of my merit be dedicated to him that he finds comfort and solace and the means to look after himself with ease.
