Thank you for the gift

[Green @xygort]

Eventually, you will accept that you carry contradictions. You can be grateful and dissatisfied at the same time. Hopeful and cautious. Capable and tired. Good and bad to different or even the same people. Life has no default settings.

“Our position has been to safeguard our neutrality while demonstrating our humanitarian values. We do not believe that any civilian should die in wars. As a state, our approach is to value every human life as equal to our own. Our decisions have been taken accordingly.”

Please get back to doing puzzles, sudoku, board games, crosswords, word search. Read long novels and watch long form videos.

Seeing my students and even my age-mates uncomfortable being cognitively unentertained is... something. We’re losing patience with thinking deeply.
