I was thinking about all those little 'be nice' lessons we were given when we were young;
-This person have a different skin color? It's not important. -This person is fat? Don't judge them. -This person is acting stupidly? Look away. -This person is threatening you? Go get help. -This person is hurting you? Forgive him.
But in reality, in all these situations, we were actually being told not to listen to our instincts, not to listen to that voice in our heads that warned us; that voice that says; -Be wary! -Use your judgment! -Observe the differences and learn! -Defend yourself! -Get angry!
In summary: We have been taught not to listen to ourselves. Not to trust ourselves.
Isn't there something totally crazy about being taught to not listen to a primal instinct that tells us how to act, and how to feel, how to be careful of what's different?

Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.” Ukrainian forces have since put up a strong resistance to the Russian troops amid the war that has left hundreds of Ukrainian civilians, including children, dead, according to the United Nations. Ukrainian and international officials have accused Russia of targeting civilian populations with shelling and bombardments. In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback. "Markets were cheering this economic recovery and return to strong economic growth, but the cheers will turn to tears if the inflation outbreak pushes businesses and consumers to the brink of recession," he added. Friday’s performance was part of a larger shift. For the week, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 2%, 2.9%, and 3.5%, respectively.
