If you have more or less stayed tuned with the news for the last four months, and you can watch what’s happening “from above”, you definitely noticed that there are only two points of view: one side is an aggressor, the empire of evil and all its people are vicious orcs; and the other side is an innocent victim and all its citizens are saints. Don’t you think that it is too simple? You can take any moment in the world’s history and try to learn everything about it thoroughly, and you will find out at some moment that all those events had a lot of prerequisites, many things led to it, and, finally, it was all very complicated. It’s not only about historical events – the same with everything. But people hate complexity and uncertainty. We love everything being simple and clear. We prefer to label every item (event, person, smartphone, movie, song, etc.) with appropriate marks: good, bad, and so-so. To place everything on the relevant shelf. This way of thinking and living is pleasing and calming. But that’s how we look like ostriches hiding their heads into the sand. (Yes, I know that ostriches don’t do that, it’s just a set phrase.) The truth is always somewhere in between. Even if you can easily identify the wrong side, that doesn’t mean that everyone from that side is bad and ugly. Moreover, we, ordinary people, can only see what we are allowed to see – the tip of the iceberg. Everything is much more complicated and tangled than we think.

I was going to make this post, as I previously promised, about my YouTube channel explaining why I decided to abandon any schedule in uploading new videos.

From both (I emphasize it – BOTH) sides. Do you think that Putin is a great liberator? Or you are convinced that Zelensky is a hero? If yes, for any of these two, you are living with pink glasses on your eyes. Too rare to my mind, there are voices of common sense. Too few opinions that these persons simply pursue their goals don’t even think about people. We are sinking in hate… “Imagine there’s no countries. It isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too. Imagine all the people Livin’ life in peace.” Do you remember these wise words? I very much hope so. My heart is crying… Yes, I know that it’s very easy to call for peace and wisdom sitting on the couch behind a laptop in thousand kilometres far from the war, but still. Are we, people, can unite and forget about our tiny disagreements only in the face of extraterrestrial invasion and the following extermination? Are we so silly and weak? I can’t answer my questions, I’m not even close to wisdom. But at least, I do realize that in any war, there can’t be right or wrong sides. We all lose if we fight, no matter who started...
