Stay Calm In Changing Times

changes are almost always unexpected...

Many are oblivious and simply pass every day mundanely

Life is a flow; few expect major nor abrupt changes

Abrupt change is disruptive and major change shift a person's paradigm & forward paces

Power, fame, money, status... are only good if you are alive but the sword cuts both ways

Going to sleep is natural but waking up is by the grace of GOD

生老病死 is a norm but some are blessed to skip sickness病 though not all live long enough to their ripe old age老

Lately, i have heard of more surprises as seemingly healthy persons of >40yos are dropping (dead) like flies

Equally interesting, more are hiding behind their veils as difficult times bite and cruising along and making do with their current financial stature; unemployed and underemployed though

The ever increase in costs of living and food prices are making living less bearable

Worse, the ruling class are preaching 'belt tightening', thrifts and consuming less whilst they are richly rewarded and incentivised... the North-South Gap widens further

Political shifts are sudden too; Putin faced mutiny but it was quickly put down, NATO/US promised arms support to Ukraine but delivery were short, US supplied cluster bombs which were banned by many countries, Singapore has its fair share of fallouts & scandals, Thailand is unsure if the winner should be crowned "PM", PRChinese foreign minister disappeared from the scene...

As hardship bites, politics become muddier and tempered, at times

A rich man cannot lives in a sea of poor neither can a dictator

Change is inevitable especially when deprived, suppressed and oppressed ~ it is all about survival

Barely survive(ing) is a catalyst of change; nobody wants a sudden change which is almost always disruptive

We are in a period of dramatic change! COVID has taught that many impossibles are actually possible

Life in the short term will remain turbulent, not necessarily violent but likely to be very challenging

Be like the blade of grass dancing in the storm than the uprooted old, oak tree

Go with the flow. Smile & lighten your heart - see you in prosperity when the storm calms again

笑看风云 活在当下 明天会更好 今天是最好
