NOTE

Beware of the Illusion of More

Destruction in markets often arises from single points of failure and sudden loss of confidence, demonstrating the rapid descent of values compared to the slow ascent of gains. Emotional responses to loss are more intense than to gain, with loss aversion driving a focus on potential negatives in the economy. Pessimism can skew perceptions, as it often predicts continued decline without recognizing human resilience and innovation in the face of challenges.

True contentment does not stem from having more, but from recognizing when enough is truly enough.
