“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.

Economic uncertainty: the global economic landscape has been fraught with uncertainty and concerns over geopolitical tensions have dampened investor sentiment. These macroeconomic factors have had a pronounced impact on cyclical stocks, which are more sensitive to economic fluctuations. Supply chain disruptions: ongoing supply chain issues have continued to plague industries reliant on global trade. The automotive sector, for instance, has faced significant challenges due to semiconductor shortages and logistical bottlenecks. These disruptions have hindered production and sales, leading to weaker stock performance. The China factor: the fundamental trigger for the FII outflows is the elevated valuations in India and the relatively cheap and attractive valuations in markets like China. The sell-off is on account of FPIs shifting investments towards Chinese stocks, which currently offer attractive valuations and growth potential due to government stimuli. This has sparked concerns about the impact on India's stock markets. More importantly, the shift has negatively affected almost all sectors which comprise the cyclical category.
