  1. Have We Given Up on Happiness?

    A student told me that a new report claims that the coronavirus is no longer the world’s no. 1 concern. Apparently, it is outperformed by poverty and unemployment. Besides those three, the world is worried, according to the report, about crime, education, climate change, and immigration. To me, humanity seems so confused and burned out that I don’t think it is concerned with anything anymore. And it is not that there are too many problems, but that there is no goal to achieve. If there are no goals, there are no aspirations; and if there are no aspirations, there is nothing to live for.

    You might argue that everyone's goal is to be happy, and this is true, of course. However, when we all have our own idea of happiness and only our own happiness in mind, we each go our own way and end up unhappy, burned out, and we eventually give up on happiness altogether.

    Therefore, the first thing we need to define is what we regard as the most important thing in life and how we want to achieve it. Afterwards, we can determine what will help or hinder us in achieving the goal.

    Our first task is to recognize that the whole world is interconnected, as demonstrated by the numerous global crises. Personal happiness that ignores the happiness of the rest of us is a prerogative we no longer have. Therefore, we must come to define happiness as the happiness of all people, or at least we should strive to do so. Only if we progress in this direction will we make real progress toward happiness, since it will have the support of the entire society.

    Once we realize that this should be our goal, and start working toward it, things will improve not only for people, but for the entire planet. If we are convinced that we must look after the well-being of all people, then we must see that they do not suffer from pollution, that they have clean water and air, that they have sufficient energy and healthy food, and that their health, housing, and education are cared for. As a result, we will balance our use of resources and consume only what is necessary, out of consideration for everyone else's well-being.

    We will not need regulations and conferences to which world leaders fly in jets that pollute the atmosphere to make hollow speeches. We will regulate ourselves because of our awareness that our own happiness depends on the happiness of everyone else. In other words, we will achieve sustainability and build a happy life for ourselves if we focus not on preventing pollution and curbing emissions, but on mutual consideration and caring for each other. This is the only way we can find sustainability and happiness in today's world.

  2. I speak on the tongues of the people for peace

    What we see today is a dangerous escalation, statements from both sides that have not been proven true, and media directed at each party for what it sees only.

    But this calls for a nuclear war and the declaration of a third world war, and each side has its allies

    In my opinion, these sanctions come with a retrograde effect on the peoples of Europe and the whole world

    With the increase in prices and the lack of resources, it will end in a nuclear war

    We humans have to think a little before a war that is capable of destroying humanity and the beautiful aspects of life that have always blessed us with the beauty of its nature and climate.

    It is upon us to have peace and to resolve matters by negotiation, and there is no room for games in order for it to pass in peace before the opportunity expires

    https://youtube.com/shorts/R-7fTVK9Gx8?feature=share

    Dear Citizens of the United States of America. 
    We, the citizens of Great Russia, are appealing to you with our request to stop your politicians from  destroying our common world. It is not we who have come to you, it is you who have come to our home from the land which is many thousands of miles  away. We, the People of Russia, want the armed forces of the United States of America and the  NATO military forces to leave the territory of the former USSR in order to prevent the mutual destruction of our world.  We are not interested in a nuclear war, but we will use any means necessary to defend and liberate our homeland USSR and the countries of the former Warsaw Pact, as we have done many times in our history!

    Please leave soon, or things will be different.  https://youtu.be/DxkKh2o5Fvk

    We hate an idea to strike the Nevada nuclear testing site with the intercontinental nuclear missile to convince you even more how serious are our intentions!  Don’t make us to do it! Please be reasonable, do not make your situation worse than it is.Please do it in the name of peace on Earth!!
    The citizens of Russia.

  20. Mariupol, a city of about 400,000, is a key strategic target for Russia because seizing it would allow Russian-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine to join forces with troops in Crimea, the southern peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014. Ukraine has made clear it wants to join the European Union and the Western defensive alliance, NATO, but the Kremlin will not have it. Russia's stated goal is that Ukraine be freed from oppression and "cleansed of the Nazis".
