That's how I started my New Year's greeting last year. I didn't think this madness could be elevated.
After two years of hiding our smiles behind the walls of our cloaks, waging war on covid and all its attendant social phenomena, the real war has arrived. And not somewhere on the other side of the world, but right on the doorstep of our homes. We had become accustomed to a quiet life that lulled us into a state of "everything is fine" and, more importantly, "nothing can happen to us“. It can!!! As so many times in the history of mankind, all it takes is one man with his power interests and everything is turned on its head.
The Christmas season is supposed to be a time to celebrate the birth of Christ, and near beyond our borders people are dying needlessly. It is supposed to be a time of calm and our minds are in turmoil. It is supposed to be a preparation for a new and better year and we are worried about the future, worried about the fate not only of ourselves but of all humanity.
Wars have been with mankind since its earliest days, but they are not just external. Each of us wages our own wars within ourselves every day. Between truth and lies, good and evil, love and hate, true or false, black or white, sadness and joy, sexual or asexual, we simply resolve the many contradictions that confront us daily.
Let us do our best to always be on the right side in these daily personal conflicts. Let us listen well, study, discuss and if we are not sure let us choose the right counselors. Only in this way can we form our own sound opinion, which will enable me not to be taken advantage of by the many lies and half-truths that are thrown at us daily from all sides.
I wish you a strong will in this struggle, faith in all that is meaningful, good friends and courage in asserting your opinions.
