It's OK to be Grieving

I think a lot of people are mentioning how productive they are and that's great but it's important to know that this is also a time for people to grieve. We have all lost something in retrospect, whether that be the ability to do something as planned, a loved one, an internship, etc.

Look there's reasons to be grateful but it's also inconsiderate of people to discount other's feelings and situations. The world needs more love and being open minded and not criticizing other will get us through this tough time.

No it's not. Real finance alphas are 100% stoic and do not grieve. They should only focus on making money at all times. Only productivity and numbers matter, not emotions. Only the strong will come out of this and the soft weaklings deserve to suffer. People who didn't plan for a global pandemic deserve their suffering, if only they knew and studied STEM hard like me in college - WSO probably

 

This is correct. Even in the times of Jesus Christ, there were alphas called apostles. At a certain point they had some loved ones die and said “yo Jesus,” “let us go do some funeral crashing and get lit.” Jesus said “let the dead bury the dead.” John was like “oh snap.” Jesus hooked it up later though changing the water into wine. Everyone wanted to get crunk that night and He knew he had to put out for the fam.
