War

Homes destroyed.

Innocent lives lost.

Scenes of carnage.

These are the makings of greed and fear by mankind.

Since 55 million years of human civilization, there have been many wars and conflicts.

The innate nature of humans is to win, to compete, to dethrone opponents, to gain more wealth, more power, most of the times at the expense of freedom, peace, time, health and even life.

A crisis breeds opportunities as always.

As prices of commodities, gold and oil soar, uncertainties cause the stock markets to undergo volatile times.

While I am glad that the markets presented immense opportunities due to this war in tandem with other noises of inflation and interest rate hike fears, I am sad that this comes at huge expenses of freedom, peace and lives of innocent people of Ukraine and also the poor soldiers of Russia, Ukraine and rebels being forced to fight and kill.

We should treasure the freedom and not take our peace and right of living for granted. 

Just ranting some thoughts. Thanks for reading.

As always, stay safe and remain strong.

With love & peace, 
Qiongster
