I watched Samson and Delilah, no matter what people would say about it I liked it. I think Lamarr was looked absolutely fantastic, Victor dull but inspiring.
Apart from the fact this is based on Bible, there is one Act which I liked very much. When Delilah asks Samson the secret of his superhuman strength, Samson reveals it to her but it unlike what you would ever expect.
Following is the quote from Judges 16:
So he told her everything. "No razor has ever been used on my head," he said, "because I have been a Nazirite set apart to God since birth. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man."
The point is every strength of man comes from his devotion to God. And this devotion takes the form of conviction, a conviction that is set upon by himself/herself. If that conviction is broken the bridge that connects him God is broken, for the moment. At that point the "Shield of his strength is gone"
I have seen some people especially musicians and priests being very particular of their convictions. And I guess even technical analysts whose enterprise is something of an esoteric art stand on some of these convictions. What is your conviction that makes you invincible? Which conviction give you the strength to conquer?
After these question arose, I thought long and hard what are the convictions that form foundation of my views and learnings. I realised or atleast narrowed them to one - Simplicity.
I have long thought technical analysis does best when it is simple. If I method I use is very hard to explain to my grandmother or a five year kid, then probably the methods are not the best. The laws of universe that hold everything together cannot be and are not exclusive of a five year old or my grandmother.
The same force that guides the galaxies are also the ones which guide all things including stock prices. I guess, it was Wolfram who said the basic formula that runs the universe is very simple. I wholly agree with him. That's the conviction on which my view on technical analysis and perhaps many more things are based on. Break that, and I will be lost in paralysis.
If I were given to expand the list to two things, say primary and secondary, then the secondary conviction is the belief in Cycles.
What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
