    I know. it's a reflection of UNAWARENESS. Some people simply don't know any better. With some people it simply doesn't click that it is a form of self-sabotage.

    Everyone is on a different path. Some people are fairly asleep, some are more awakened.

    Here is a nice quote by Wayne Dyer on that topic.

    If everybody worked hard the value of hard work is diminished as a virtue through inflationary forces.

    Lazy people are virtue enablers in the same way futures traders help the market find it's true value. Very important role.

    They need to be caught, locked up for years in a hard labour camp. We’re too soft on criminals.


    Very well written, I never thought about it that way.

    I struggled with justifying taking the easy money when I found my edge. As a friend said, you have thoughts of a desperate guy with a crying baby in the next room gambling what little he has with no hope.

    So "value finding" is a handy crutch ;) hehe

    I got into trading with some doubts but a confidence I'd not lose much worst case. But I'm good at everything I think I might be good at (was told I might be) and this is because I was raised in a successful family, generations of success going back a long time. A speck on a rolling stone?

    What was systematically taken from slaves was this family culture and generational wealth compounding I benefitted from. Even white people who grew up poor could be inspired by models of success they identified with.

    Black people? Clarence Thomas who is referred to as Uncle Clarence by a genuine black Amercian icon Samuel L. Jackson?

  5. Blacks had very traditional families and structured families here in the US up until the mid 1960”s.

    And separate public bathrooms and rode in the back of the bus and lived on "their" side of town and ... and ... and ...

    That's what this is really all about. MAGA back to the 60's.

    You are choosing to be a victim and seeking a salve for your victimhood through the attention your desperately need NY_Hood.
