I read the diary entries about the death of one of the famous speakers, and I felt very uneasy about the thoughts that crossed my mind.
Sometimes I feel genuinely afraid of what is happening in the world. I catch myself thinking that we live in an age of broken rules and uncertainty. It once seemed that there were international laws, organizations, and agreements meant to protect us, but now I see more and more how powerful countries ignore these norms while the weaker ones suffer.
Instead of dialogue between nations, I hear more and more of the language of force, threats, and mutual blackmail. It worries me that global politics increasingly resembles a game without a referee, where everyone pursues their own interest and no one thinks about the consequences for ordinary people.
I see conflicts grow, lives collapse, families drawn into wars they never chose. People are punished more and more often for words, for opinions, for the courage to be different. And that hurts the most: freedom, which once seemed so natural, is now becoming a rare luxury.
I don’t want a world where governments find it easier to close their eyes to injustice for the sake of profit. I don’t want to live in a world where the rule of the strong becomes the norm. I’m scared that, little by little, we are being taught to accept this as something natural.
And yet I believe: as long as people worry, as long as we ask questions and refuse to silently watch injustice unfold — the world still has a chance. I can only hope that these worries are not in vain and that humanity will eventually find a path to an order where the value of human life is more important than geopolitical games🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have a tough work week ahead, and every time I fear that soon I might be left without a job and without the right to a happy future, simply because many people are being laid off, jobs are becoming scarcer, and prices are rising. I rarely come here, but today I had a lot of time. I’m so afraid of a future that could become even worse🙁
While everything in the world is spiraling into a cesspool, we still find time for relationships that destroy us. Maybe people are some kind of masochists — myself included. And there are those who want to die from love, while looking at the future you’re afraid to keep living because you don’t know when everyone will be deprived of life if all the countries decide they need to go to war.
