“When you love blindly, even flaws seem like virtues.” → When you deeply like or love someone, you may ignore their weaknesses. Their mistakes or shortcomings may even appear charming, acceptable, or even “good” to you. For example, if someone is stubborn, you might call it “determined” because you love them.
“When your dislike is intense, even virtues seem like flaws.” → On the other hand, if you dislike someone, even their positive qualities can appear negative. For instance, if someone is confident, you might see them as arrogant—simply because your attitude toward them is negative.
“Mend Your Attitude” → The key message is that it’s not always the person who is truly good or bad—it’s often our own perspective that is biased. By adjusting your attitude (removing the “blinding” effects of love or dislike), you can see people more clearly and fairly.

Global markets are experiencing a heavy sell-off today, led primarily by a sharp decline in technology stocks as artificial intelligence jitters rattle investors. Equities United States: Major indexes snapped their winning streaks. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) fell 1.38% to 26,184.72, and the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) slipped 0.3% to close at 7,720.39. The sell-off was triggered by Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG), which suffered its worst drop on record—plummeting 12% and erasing roughly $500 billion in market value due to disappointing third-quarter growth. In contrast, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) initially posted solid cloud-driven earnings but reversed course amid broader tech sector challenges. After-hours trading saw further drops as Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) also underwhelmed investors. Asia-Pacific: The negative sentiment spread to Asian markets. South Korea's Kospi tumbled over 5%, and Japan's Nikkei 225 (INDEXNIKKEI:NI225) slid 2.61% following a conservative guidance cut from memory-chip maker Samsung. Central Banks & Interest Rates The market anxiety comes immediately after the Federal Reserve chose to keep the benchmark lending rate unchanged at 3.75%–4.00%. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh cited elevated, persistent inflation as the reason for the pause, though the central bank signaled it is widely expected to deliver a rate hike in December. Crypto & Commodities Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin fell nearly 3% to trade around $76,600. This was exacerbated by news that Binance temporarily suspended all deposits and withdrawals to investigate a suspected platform exploit. Commodities: Crude oil rallied, with Brent crude pushing past $116 a barrel and U.S. crude topping $100 as escalating Middle East tensions expose ongoing energy supply vulnerabilities.
