A theme which I believe should be of interest to readers is that of rebirth. It happens in many aspects of life. I'd apply it for example to insects that shed their exoskeleton. I've seen this concept described within Judaism as one way of interpreting 'the breaking of vessels'. The movies are replete with examples of this theme, just one memorable example is the opening scene of 'Dances with Wolves'.

I can say for myself that I have been checkmated many times, both on the chessboard and in life, and I know this has happened to people here as well. But what I have learned is that this is not a bad thing as great growth can follow the apparent destruction of all that one holds important. In the subsequent rebirth a better one can replace the failed paradigm.

As with birth, rebirth is a time of great danger, not least because the 'breaking of vessels' can be misinterpreted as the end of someone's usefulness on this earth, and they can take their own lives before the process is complete. Yet rebirth is essential to growth. Someone who has never experienced real despair, in my opinion, has never experienced real growth, whatever the self-help books tell us.

I post this subject only because it is so applicable to markets. The market experienced a death and rebirth around the Feb 27th pivot, and I leave it up to my fellow readers to consider how the paradigm then shifted.
