Make your own road…
Well take this for a fresh perspective…
It’s a decision making alternative of defensive investments in a bear market…
You know you will lose money but you had rather loose less, reconciled to the inevitability of loss…corrosion rather. You cede that its not within your capabilities to stem the rot. Its not really giving up but heavily hedged bravado (the contradiction is apparent in the choice of words). You know you will lose money but you will still be game and play but play for far lesser stakes.
These lines by D.H.Lawrence never rang so true in my years and I quote, “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, sufficient unto the moment is the appearance of reality”.
Often, time or rather lapsed time adds a transcendental perspective to the mechanism of making automatic choices that we have grown to call self confidence. Its in the words of Jorge Luis Borges "that bold and legitimate certainty with which we assert our knowledge of a city, without ever having been rewarded with the intimacy of all the many streets it includes".
Time is a rather strange economic commodity, while it is scarce and its economic benefit is incontrovertible but it does not have a spot market only “futures and options”. This moment has just passed. Hope is now reality…hard as concrete. If you haven’t built it well…you no longer have the same choices…its just the next big thing…the dream is now closer to a utopia ..the mirage is just one more step…
You are still the same, only weaker for your age, wiser for your mistakes and humbler for your understanding. You are still at the same crossroad, its just that the world has changed and there is no road less traveled.
