changes are swift, impactful & expeditious ...
Stay calm, discount & ignore the noises & disruptions, adapt and take your time to respond & never rush
By delaying responds a little, you allow your mind to aggregate, calculate and tamper on the acute immature yet careless reactions
Speak truths with specks of humors as more people cannot, and refuse to, accept the painful facts 不说谎话，不用说实话；现实本来就是残忍的。只说好听的话
Do not get into other people's quarrels nor arbitrate for angry persons as neither are rewarding; fuming people can't hear nor accept solutions
You cannot change another person's life & character. Why would you want to shoulder his Karma? When you relieve him of his bondage, you are going to shoulder his Karma 种因得果
Are we witnessing swifter changes or are we swallowed in an avalanche of unimpeded information? It's information & misinformation overflow
Rule-based decisions are fast replaced by gutfeel, gang-fraught & gun-toting spitfire responses, not forgetting the wraths of Nature ~ moments that no Man can control nor overcome
Avoidance is the answer
Stay indoors until the ill-winds pass ~ Whatever don't kill you makes you better
Retreat into the cocoon, live like a pupa, metamorphos into a butterfly when the time is ripe ~ there is a right time for everything
We cannot run away from reality; time is the essence & change is the only constant
As at current, Wall Street has 'long been overvalued' and there are denials on the accepted basis of valuations, extrapolation of hopes over academic and generally accepted doctrines & conventions are pushing the frontiers. Murmurs "this time is different" echo in the air
Throw in the geopolitical gerrymandering & scheming & there are enough to unsettle and upset accepted norms, throwing everything into disarray not unlike a tsunami resetting the entire ecosystem
The annual cyclical lows [3-monthly] are January, April, July & October while the 4-years cycle should peak in 2026 & turns down ~ 2026 will prove to be a volatile year
Smart money will likely leave the West to more sanely valued stocks/Capital markets in Asia. The threats of instability, wars and upheavals are equally present globally; the moot is the speed of recovery in the aftershocks, not being caught in the whipsawing swings and the guts to take position 危机 during the 'chaos'
The world has slowed, the global economy has been crippled by embargo, tariffs & geopolitical shifts, consumers' confidence is lacking and purchasing power have diminished, but history has moved on ...
Be nimble, be smart ~ when you are unsure, stay out
When the world levels down, your chance of becoming better improves
