when December gives way to January ...
Many rush out new resolutions, some dust & buttress old resolutions, while a few simply brush up existing resolutions hoping to achieve their last resolves
January ends in December & returns in the new year; the only change is the calendar ~ a new year. Life continues, issues need resolutions and hunger needs food ... HOPEs remain alive
It is confidence, believes, trusts & hopes that give energy to drive into the future; slow down if you must but don't quit & never loss hope
It's 7 days before December 2025 expires; don't freak! Life continues ~ your inspirations and challenges don't disappear
Economics - Global economies are more restrained & their growth muted as embargoes, tariffs, currencies uncertainties & regional conflicts are burn brightly
Politics - Nothing beats 2025 political 'upheavals & props'; Ukraine/Russia conflict prod on by NATO using 'seized Russian monies', Japan 'threw sparks & burn' the Taiwanese/China union possibility, US seizure of Venezuelan oil vessels in the name of drug trafficking whilst China & Russia are eveready to back Venezuela, Thailand/Cambodia border conflicts have escalated while eagled-eye Vietnam looks on, North & South Korean differences can take a back seat as Japan seek old interventionist intents ... the list goes on
Social - As economies slowed many countries are against immigration & foreigners - grabbing jobs & suppressing wages [from locals]. Protests on foreign workforce stretch from Australia to Europe, Japan to New Zealand & US and others. Religious and race issues easily spark pro and anti -rallies. Singapore is probably the only country insulated from immigration implosive street actions. A hungry man is an angry man
Don't need to be alarmed as information, misinformation, propaganda and half-truths, including AI-generated deep fakes, travel faster than you can 'digest'
It's an incontinence of info-overloads; Read, enjoy the contents & believe nothing, if at all - the flights of fantasy make Disney fairytales a kids play
Do not spend too much time on eMedia ~ it will wreck your life as deep fakes can influence your emotions & bottled you into a wreck - if lies are repeated long enough, it becomes true to the convinced/believer
In this age where information populate like flies, everything is on a 'need to know basis'; don't know, don't hurt
Give yourself the space & avenues to be yourself; no two persons are the same. Uniqueness is GOD's art
Gini-Coefficient - The world is getting richer but the people poorer, not unlike information flows which are faster, but more people are lonelier and unable to relate. Wealth is concentrated at the top 3% of the population while hoarding & waste of resources are making the general population poorer and famish
Capital & Finance - The oft heard phrase is "this time is different"; 1929 Great depression did not [fully] recover until 1940. 1997/98 Asian Financial Crisis, 2000 DotCom crisis & SARS [faded by 2004] & 2008 Global Financial Crisis had caused miseries across the globe. Borrowed monies & credit expansion through printing currencies allowed 'borrowed time' to resolve the economic quagmires. However, kicking the can down the road do not resolve real problems
Today's valuation of Wall Street [DJIA, S&P500, NASDAQ] stocks are unseen for decades as many quipped "this time is different"!
Unfortunately, my view is 2026 will be the Age of The Great Unwinding as reality strikes & wars, confrontation, economic warfare & social unrests are the consequences, not the causes. The rich cannot live in the sea of poor as the hungry Man is an angry Man
Man will have to pay dearly in The Awakening 觉醒 and the consequences & tolls will be unseen in history. Man's folly has consequences
I am not an alarmist but forewarned is forearmed
