I do know how it feels being in a conflict and being mad, with violent ideas crossing my mind and the crazy desire to be so strong I would just have to threaten my opponents to get what I want.
But that is not the way I live.
When my boys fight, they both loose something.
When they negotiate and build something together they both win something.
That is the way our family goes on: we chose everyday and every moment to live together as brothers, instead of dying together as idiots (thanks Martin!). We try to speak out our problems and then look for a solution.
It is hard.
It takes time.
But it works.
Now comes the Ukrainien struggle.
On one hand, Russia.
On the other hand, it is not so clear: Ukraine, ok, but not only. There has been problems for quite while, it seems, and no one heard about it by then. I found some videos on YouTube from 2014 or 2015, showing parts of Donbas bombed by Ukrainian army: the Donbas people tend to be too Russian, some may say. Some say it is the other way round. Still, it started years ago for Ukraine but none else cared*.
So what is going on today for this conflict suddenly erased Covid-19 itself?
Generally, to understand a crime, one just has to follow the money. In our case, maybe that it all boils down to where Europe is going to buy it’s gas or petrol… (🤯)
But in our modern world it becomes a little more tricky, for money and technology are closely linked to emotional reactions and instant news. Those who control information manipulate people and their purse. Strike and Visa stop working with Russia? People buy Bitcoin.
Thus, Facebook also closes its doors to Russia.
In the Art of War, Sun Tzu talks about the motivation of the average people involved in war as a main key to succeed: the moral law. He writes:
« The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger. »**
If none can figure out what really goes on, how can a man or a woman choose wisely it’s fights?
One of the latest horrors overwhelmed by antagonist point of views is the bombing of a maternity and child hospital in Marioupol.*** Was the building still operating for what it was meant, or has it been used as a cover for soldiers? Was the pregnant woman on the picture really under the bomb at that moment or was she just an influencer paid to pretend, as Russian authorities keep claiming?
My mother’s heart is in PLS.
Is there any cognitive bias settled by pervers media to make me believe this or that?
Being unable to figure out who’s the good guys and who’s the bad guys, I keep reading. I want my opinion to be mine, not the subconscious repeat of a whispered pre-made conclusion.
So I read about American strategic positions, I read about nuclear stations and bombs falling not exactly on it but still a little on it, about refugees (millions, already!) and about research centers as strategic targets…
And here is the absolut jewel of perversion****: the Russians say that the Americans want to use migrating birds as bacteriological missiles, spreading diseases during their seasonal move.
In other words: one says that his enemy is about to turn armless creatures into a mortal threat.
Birds, as a threat.
We are in a Hitchcock movie.
The idea is terrifying.
The message itself, another source of anxiety, since doubting has became a surviving issue in this data war.
The global atmosphere around all that: reeky.
In a way, that makes me think about FTM, who is still getting down: the news may be given by second zone informants, if you read it before you’d get relevant informations and fear gets into your brain, it will take energy and time to come back to reason. No matter how strong the FTM technology and network are, no matter how twisted were the news that made the value of the coin get down, it will take time and energy to get back to its normal development.
A time that is not being used to speak out problems and find the solution together.
At the end, all this is a massive waist of time and energy.
And I hope it won’t last too long, for there are more crucial battles to face.
Have a great day.
