Hype.

You know, you need to stay away from some things, take the information calmly and not make hasty conclusions and not make quick decisions.

I remember how some time ago it was announced that salt, flour, sugar and cereals would be in great short supply and the next few days were devoted to a big race for these products.

Lol, my kids and I were carrying over 50 kilos of salt and flour, making short runs on foot from a store a couple of miles from my house.

We stood in huge queues that raked everything on store shelves. and the police tried to control the situation. so that it does not come to a fight and bloodshed.

Yes, it is terrible to remember, but it was.

Today, when I walk into the store and see the counters full of goods, I understand how ridiculous those days of terrible hype looked.

In my apartment, there are bags of salt, flour and sugar everywhere, and this constantly reminds me of the time when people, like hungry koi in a pond, climbed on top of each other to get the coveted kilogram of buckwheat from the counter.

The hype is something that needs to be kept at arm's length, if possible, then further.
