I would call last year the Year of Truth. Faces were revealed, people's gaze became clearer, feelings were revealed and people began to see clearly. A lot of pretense has gone, a lot of arrogance. It was as if everyone had once sobered up and come to their senses. It was as if we were starting to get better! Since we, all of us, lived before, it was no longer possible and life showed us this. Finally, we heard it. Yes, someone began to hear it through troubles, hardships and losses. Or through difficulties and tasks. There are many who have begun to hear their enthusiasm and happiness. Happiness to live. We began to feel it. For a very, very long time. For centuries, if not millennia, people humbled themselves and pulled the wagon of civilization, then again they humbled themselves and pulled. And for some time it was even interesting and inspiring for them. It was believed that all this was for the benefit of development and a wonderful future. Then, after a while, this enthusiasm went away, but the habit of humility and achievement remained. Without inspiration, without this natural, life-giving force, we switched to a different mode of functioning. People devoted a huge part of their time to learning how to draw from reserves. Liveliness and naturalness - when the source of energy is not bodily reserves, but Life itself, the Spirit, the universe - have become out of honor. Relationships have fallen apart. People's health has become... It's gone. At all. Even healthy young people feel bad and become addicted to pills. Apparently it's going to be very good. Moreover, I firmly believe in this. But it didn’t turn out well. It’s getting worse and the worst thing is that now this is the norm! Living in depression and illness, without energy and desire, has become the norm! Living without people and relationships has become the norm. Not wanting to move, not wanting to create something, to create yourself, your life, to manifest yourself - has become the norm! Motivators of different professions began to make money from this. “Run! Achieve! Buy it! Life is beautiful when you have it! Buy it! And buy again! Buy tours instead of travel, buy diplomas instead of knowledge, quick courses instead of development, buy the desire to buy! For the charisma of those who already know how to do this. Buy bags, buy happiness, buy health with a synthetic pill, healthy skin with a fashionable cream, respect with an expensive car. Relationships for a contract, friendship for benefits, love for pleasure and sex for humility.” And so it continued. Until all the juice was sucked out of people. Fleeting joys and purchased comfort became the meaning of life. At first, the compulsive euphoria of gaining strength increased. And then they left in double volume. People became so de-energized and lifeless that they stopped even being able to feel and understand what was happening to them. Living cheaper for expensive work has become the norm. Thinking and the tendency of life now originate from depression and inferiority: “it’s better this way, at least somehow, than even worse.” And at the same time, wasting precious energy - the habit of buying and achieving, running after goals like carrots, remains.
