I justly therefore ask what is the matter. Where is the beauty? Where is the monkey that whistles a Monet as beautifully as I dance the freed cave captive. Don't worry this is not suppose to make sense except for the meditative purpose of questioning stuff.
What stuff? Well your stuff off-course. Ultimately we only have our own stuff... don't you? I therefore propose that we reflect on what it is that we really need. What stuff is necessary?
I respectfully and specifically challenge those who are in the busyness of business - those who are driving the engines of industry. Entrepreneurs, CEO's, managers and leaders. You who helped entangle all of us in the relentless speed of nothingness. The pervasive beauty of creativity is the all-encompassing delight of those who persevere unto the transcendental reality (which doesn't really exist for those caught in complexity).
I'm sorry, I mean how do you pull on the strings of infinity and eternity to make the fleeting moment permanent? Yes, in business! Don't pretend like you don't know what I am talking about.
We look for it everyday and hunger for it more and more. We know it is there but we spend so much time on the stuff that is served up that the real food is overlooked. If you don't understand this then you haven't begun to ask: your self? Go ahead ask: my self? Who is this really? Who am I being? Am I real? I therefore submit to you that the business person has no right to do business until he/she has found someone to do business for!
Business is the reality of our society, our faults, our beauty and delight. Don't switch off the lights. Get a message and get out there. Do something that will make people talk, smile and look for the good in others. Come with me and look at the beautiful connections between everything. Be part of the connections, find your place, your voice and go from survive to alive!

Okay so this comment is totally random just like your "story" I believe you can't find yourself unless you find God first. By finding God you can find your true identity. You don't always have to know why certain things happen, you just have to accept it and make the best of it.
Now in the concept of business, it's very important to know what you want to do and understand what your trying to accomplish before you can do it. You have to take the right steps in order to obtain full potential.
A famous saying states “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. You asked: “Where is the beauty?”.
To me the beauty of this world is all around us. The problem isn't the lack of beauty in this world ,but the lack of observation.
The beauty of this world is seen in simple actions, such as sharing thoughts, photography, symphonies, ballets, smiling at a stranger, good food, animals and many more.
People tend to look at the system of this world in a negative way. But aren't schools, hospitals, animal shelters and charities part of the system? It can't be regarded as nothingness? And isn't it beautiful?
We tend to be selfish, only regarding personal experiences as important, but seeing two strangers starting a conversation in a waiting room is enough for me to observe beauty in this world.
All of us are connected in one way or another, even if it is just that our dentist appointment was the same day. We can make all our experiences beautiful.
I end this comment in agreement to your closing paragraph. We should do good for one another, a billion dollar corporation doesn't change the world, sharing your lunch with a car guard does.
