Certainty

In the past weeks we have all gradually seen how the world became a scarier and more uncertain place, how humanity is challenged and how nature is bouncing back at us for all the irresponsible actions we have taken in past decades. 
In times of such paralysis and confusion, we are given a second chance to rethink our way of living, our priorities, our definition of happiness and our position in the big scheme of things. We are so fragile and powerless and yet we behave as if we are ruling the world; we chase the wrong things in life and we are surprised how meaningless they are in times of crisis; we damage the nature and react with anger when it takes its toll back at us.

Work in progress

2020 came as if I was ready for it. 20 years since the 2000s, also referred to as "few years ago". I am deeply bothered by this thought yet I am grateful for the times I currently live in, the progress we have collectively made in the world and for the fact that I did spend my youth times when there was no social media. 
The more I read and reflect about my thoughts from not too long ago (give it 2-3 years) the more I see how significantly I have changed my view on myself and on the world. Boy, was I naive!
