Completion/Explorations

In the summertime of 2008, erstwhile Russia invaded Georgia, the Kiev street expressed the belief that Ukraine would be next after the fall of Georgia. Georgia did not fall, but the aggression on Ukraine became a fact in 2014, erstwhile "green men" occupied Crimea and Donbas. Now the Kiev street is convinced that regardless of the consequence of Russian-Ukrainian struggles, Russian eyes will turn to the Pribaltic region, Poland, possibly Finland. The Kiev street does not accept arguments that these are NATO countries and Moscow will not "tourish". The Kiev street knows it will. An open question for Kiev Street is only erstwhile and where the next phase of imperial Russian aggression will take place.
To capture the present state of the global environment in which you and I have come, 1 can hotel to the metaphor of Titanic. I'm a smoker who sees water entering the boiler room. You're a sleep-wake passenger who wonders what's causing the ship to stop. We both don't know where it ends yet? But I can see it's not good.
I hope you read this guide by sitting in your favourite chair with a cup of hot tea and a cat muttering quietly on your knees. Or a dog awake at your feet. I hope you never experience war on your own. That's why I wrote this book. And that's why you read it. To spare you, your loved ones and yours and my countrymen the nightmare of war.
I hope you can get up (cat will someway forgive you), come to the window, open it and enjoy a warm day or cold night. I hope you can enjoy the large city sound or the provincial silence. And that no substance what you see from your window, there will always be a peaceful sky above this landscape. For example, November, sunken by clouds and drizzle, but free from enemy rockets or drones. I hope so.
Now look at the distant horizon. Close your eyes. scope where your eyes can't reach. See the eye of the Black Lord? It looks and is inactive insatiable. It's not a Tolkien fairy tale, though I truly want it was. But the plague bug never dies. And we are unlucky to live in a place from which – if you put your eyes out and let your imagination go – you can see the plagued land on your hand. Remember that.
War takes peace. There are those who compose that people in Kiev have fun, that discos are full. But erstwhile the war lays its kiss on your forehead, you will have no peace at either the Christmas table or the disco. You live, you eat, you talk, you play, and people die all minute. It's like a stain on woman Macbeth's hand – as if it doesn't rub, it won't come down, although you see it only, and others think you're paranoid. Or having besides much fun with a guy in a disco. You see this bloody stain, and those who criticize besides loud deserve only to break their noses with their fists. You don't gotta play with another people's demons. There is no request to justice situations that have not been experienced.
Maybe there'll be a miracle, and erstwhile you read those words, it'll be after the Ukrainian-Russian war. I just don't know if it's gonna be a miracle or a nightmare? I know 1 thing. Even if they keep the guns shut, this war won't end. Not in a position that I or you can predict. The planet has entered a fresh era. And you gotta learn to live in it. I hope I helped you a small bit by giving you terrible prospects. Your occupation is to avoid them at all costs. due to the fact that I wouldn't want you to go through the hell that's become part of my everyday life.
I've seen things I find hard to believe today. I don't know if they were bad or good. They're slipping distant the grade scale we utilized to get. I don't think you always want to see them. due to the fact that even today, I have tears in my eyes erstwhile I remember them. And I didn't tell you everything. due to the fact that any wounds are besides fresh for me to talk about. Not yet.
So now close the window, stand up and go do something for a better tomorrow. If only you could choice up the paperwork and throw it in the trash. If you want to do more, find me online. It's the 21st century. I'll show you the way to large things. due to the fact that all road starts with the first step, just as all rain starts with the first drop. And although the rain can hide many tears, they are tears that the top rain cannot hide. all day, do whatever it takes to be spared.
But erstwhile there is no another way, follow the way of man. due to the fact that that's all that matters at the end. Anyway, actually, it's crucial always. Always and everywhere.
