Brutal Truths

 realities hurt...

What you want may not be what you get; at least, it may not be fully satisfied

Many try their best within their abilities but some say "your best is not good enough"! Alas, even the elastic rubber bands snap

Dreams are leads to goals but you gonna get up and work on it

Achievements will come, maybe not today but some days soon

 Be aware & ready to accept that we are all made different

You are made for better things & more beautiful, rewarding returns

The calm, calculated & inexhaustive mind moves mountains

Nobody can force you to do things that you don't want to ...greed & foolishness aside 

There is no time for regrets as energies are best utilize at upending for better results

Don't cry over spilled milk

 

When the chips are down, lie low

Some days, I am totally drenched

At others, I was hung up & dry/dried

No mercy nor retreat were in sight but with grit, calmness & indifference, much can be overcame

What can be worse than dead? Nothing

Like stupidity, the dead don't feel any more as the stupids never think they are wrong & suffer no fallout nor side effects

 

How do you tell your loved ones that your days are dated? Be cool & calculated; speak calmly & with authority that "being born & dying" is never a choice

Trust GOD for He is the Decider but remember to stay healthy, fit and safe; He cannot deliver you if you are dead as dodo

Make comfort & convenience for others as it/they make yours easier & your life lighter

We can't fight Nature's wrathes as Mother nature punished Man for destroying the entire ecosystem

Typhoons, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods...cleanse the environment

Earthquakes, fires redistribute & recreate arable land 

With vanity, greed & selfishness, Man has overbuilt & the few (5%) controls the mass (95%) 

 

The trust in GOD has slowly but surely dissipated & thinned out

Is this picturesque, serene & calm or is it deserted, lifeless & void? Water is the source of life & there is life & serenity
 

If you don't push the boundaries, you will always be stucked 

If you fear, your world is decidedly restricted

If you don't fight for your rights & dreams, you will be living another person's goal

Do not be deceived by what you see or think

What the mind thinks, it achieves

心有多大 舞台就多大 

没有做不到的 只有还没想到

The chinese character "人" is a simple two strokes 

These two legs help you walk, see & conquer the world

Life is meant to be easy but made complicated by philosophers & historians

The philosophers write ideals which are near perfection & non-existent while history is written by winners & winning at all costs is what matters

I would put these two subjects under Fiction Ad Infinitum 

The truths is Man must live harmoniously with each other

Anything beyond this, Mankind self-destructs

Truths and realities are always more painful but not necessarily cruel

 

 

 

Crucial Decisions

the mind is ticking away ...

 

This year 2020 is exceptional - it started normal but shall ends in a new normal

Many "impossibles" became "possibles" - there are abstract warnings to Mankind to repent & restore

Repent and stop destroying Mother Nature for the wrathes of Nature is merciless & decisive

Nation against nation, man versus man, family versus family ...the selfish mind knows no conscience

Winning is everything & winning at any costs destroys

When sanity gives way to greed, violence and anarchy ensue

The winds of destruction will wipe out Man; only few will be spared to perpetuate a new Generation

The New Age will be peaceful, compassionate, cooperative and caring - selflessly fending for one another

The world will be less crowded and non-intimidating as the vicious & cruel are eliminated by their own self-destructive acts

Man proposes, GOD disposes

Food & resources are abundance but hoarding by the wealthy few create famine & shortages, made worse by the disruptive & inefficient distribution channels

The average commoners are pliant, obedient, happy-go-lucky and indifferent to the overarching Laws, costs of living and enjoy simple living

They enjoy their no-frills lives

Live and let live

Revolutions are the result of suppression, oppression and deprivation & a nonchalant catalyst sparks all

Nobody wants anarchy

There is no perfect ideology; capitalism, socialism, communism - at extremes, it's all for themselves, by themselves, with themselves

 

At every turn of history & calamities, a new leader is born 

The natural leader leads by example, is selfless, farsighted and cares for the lots' fortunes

No inherited leadership can gain everlasting, unquestioned support 

Power, fame, money are finite - when the season's over, the pains double

胜者为王  人死留名 虎死留皮

History is written by winners

2020 is a leveller ; everything, almost anything, level down

A new normal will emerge in 2021 & life will never be the same again

The world will be smaller & the globe spins faster as more are done via eLink(internet)

Survival of the fittest will be the motto, going forward

Fittest refer to positive minds, adaptability, nimbleness, decisiveness ... & winning is temporary

Challenges, conquers and conquests interwine - keep your winnings & live another day

Man will move away from being a social animal to become more guarded - days of "living in the cave" returns  

The squirrel syndrome - hunt for food, collect, bring home, enjoy the harvest & home warmth, relax & relief... feed on the collections until finished, hunt again

Man will work to survive and not survive to work

As the trust in currency (paper money) evaporates, eCurrency & barter trades become the norm

Arable land, food basins & farmable oceans will be reduced & the solutions are vertical farmable apparatuses - the storied food factories

Not GMO food, though

 

The change has arrived & shalt be a permanent constant

Adopt, adapt, be fluid & swift - tomorrow is never promised

But, tomorrow shalt be better

 

 

 

 

 

nothing can bend the mind..

The Undisturb Mind

 calming the imagined storm ...

“Don’t try to force anything. Let life be a deep let-go. God opens millions of flowers every day without forcing their buds.” — Osho

How to remain calm in turbulence? It's almost impossible but you can dance in the breeze顺风航行

In the storm, the grand old oak tree fell but the blade of grass dances in the wind 

You can't swim against the tides nor can you walk past the hurricane; Nature's wrath is mercilessly destructive

Harmony is achieved via/by peaceful coexistence & going with the flow

和平共处 天助我也

Over time, everything becomes normal

War, famine, peace, abundance, pestilence, diseases...

In war, people value peace & in famine, food waste disappears

Man can complains about inconvenience and disruption but, if death & sickness are the only way out, Man will adjust & adapt

Money cannot buy health and time

Sleep enough, be positive and work towards your goal; rest with a strong mind, pilot you toward you desired objective

No goal is too far nor impossible within your capabilities

Believing you can is half the battle won

Expect the unexpected or expect nothing & there will be lesser disappointments

A life of 70-80years must be punctuated with constant maintenance & exercises

The body cannot function well without care; failing which it shall waste away

With health, the rest flow ...like days & nights; you are as lively as your last breath

Do not stress the small stuffs & let the stress not stuck upon you

The poor man seek the basics of life while the rich man strives & stress to protect his achievements

Slow down, admire Nature - we are not slaved to work 

“Make your heart like a lake, with a calm, still surface, and great depths of kindness.” - Lao Tzu

Before the big match, before your examination or before an important appointment, the calm mind devoid of distractions win the day 

Time is my best friend

I cannot win by rushing when the time is not ripe

天时地利人和

GOD willing, I will succeed

A Promising Future Awaits You

 the uncertain future is positive ...

It's almost one year into Covid-19 & there are still no clear signs that "all shalt pass"

However, while many has gotten used to the new normal; adopt & adapt to survive & prosper

There is the untold stress of being locked-in but it's loosening ... to allow breathing & social spaces

There are no brave people in the heat of the disease spreading - Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed -
Isaiah 26:20

Defying Nature is everyone's folly ; the earthquakes, tsunami, hurricanes, wild fires, floods

Avoid the paths of wrath & live to see another day; GOD willing

辛苦 心不能苦  活在当下  雨过天晴

The successful people use lull time to upskill, reskill, learn another trade or refine his skillsets

Be ready, be prepared, stay calm & sharpen up your knowledge & applications & when opportunities present, pounced

Time & tides wait for no man & passes whether its happy, sad or wild

The crack of daylight is the brightest just as drops of water in the desert saves lives

The wise lives to tell a tale while the fool's word-worthy is crafted on the stone 

One breathes on while the other had his last breath

留得青山在 不怕没柴烧

 

The world's economy has collapsed & shrunk 

Few countries, if any, will end the year positive but...

That's only normal after years of expansion except for the speed of shrinking is calamitous & impactful

Singapore is no exception but its a "blessing in disguise"; SG was late to innovate & adopt newer, revolutionary techs, AI, eCommerce & medi-techs & with global slowdown and the US/China tradewars, many overseas companies are resettling onto our soil to benefit from our near neutral position

Policy makers will do well to allow more leeway to innovate and adapt & be less paternalistic with rules & Bye-laws. The future is here & most companies are highly mobile... eSolutions will make the world more borderless 

Any dogma to remain unchanged or to police paternalistically will only send NewTechs away from our shores

The printing of (paper) monies will usher in inflation & gold may again reign

Worse, stagflation will kill an already slow global economy
 

Forget the past & begin again

英雄不谈当年勇

A wholly new working ecosystem will evolve after Covid where fewer days are spent in office & work from home rules

The need to commute (transport)  will ease and self-contained township development becomes a new norm : the vertical city will emerge where commerce meets residential meets leisure

Landscape changes include how food is distributed, processed & consumed; pre-prepared, prepacked & ready to serve packages distributed by AI-driverless delivery will be the norm

Safehaven countries with political stability will prosper

It's not a time to rejoice but definitely a time to adjust to a new normal

When the whole world is suffering the same fate, there is no need to bury in sorrows 

Innovate into a whole new world where internet rules & be prepared

In any event, if a war breaks out, it will be the war to end all wars

After half the global population is nuke-off, the world will be a better place as the/a lesson well taught will be well learnt

Are you prepared? A promising future awaits you

Comeback Victory Tastes Sweeter

the best car cannot run on empty fuels...

Time and again, people are disappointed because promises were not fulfilled

But, between GOD & Man, cash is the most trustworthy; cash can buy for promises, not the reverse

Money is the root of most evil yet the church ask for money

Money stinks yet money is the only item that is widely recycled without prompting

有钱能使鬼推磨

Money buys the best promises & deliver almost everything

“If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.” - Colin Powell

When you are tired, rest; the journey ahead is long & uncharted

Taking a break allows everyone to ease a little, reflect & reroute a possibly wrong direction

Chasing the rainbow is a fool's goal; there is no pot of gold at the end of either side

Positive advises are aplenty but few are adopted & practiced

Live well & fight your own battles; followers die without knowing the causes

You will be missed you after you depart ...memory

 “Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.” - Colin Powell

The world is turbulent, filled with half truths and misinformation

Never believe the first thing you hear nor see in this distorted world

Fighting back is always tougher but giving up meant non-returns

Be patient, learn a lesson or two during lull, be prepared yet lie low; when opportunity presents, pounce

I know well; it's tire fighting & chasing everyday - chasing a dream is an arduous task

Some days...my battery also becomes flat

If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking - Zen

Recovery is not a race...the mental & physical need to balance & ready

Rest if you must, but never quit

Sometimes, I wonder if I was stuck at 'ground zero' but if I am, many could have been worse - a self-consolation

A fool, a blind follower & a die-hard loyal will never change their mind nor course

Living others' dream is the worst; when you awaken, you are nearer the grave

 

There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore. I am thawing.”  - ― Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

Work on all that you desire, however slow

A step at a time that turns days into months & recovery is in sight

Everything is easier after achieved - just ask any winners

I am recovering from a long shot setback - it pushes me back but it's not gonna kill me

I am who I am; the incurable positive - comeback victory tastes sweeter

...read - metamorphosis of a butterfly

It was an ugly caterpillar, turned pupa before breaking out to display its beautiful wings. There again, when it crawls out of the pupa, its legs and wings are wet. Nobody should help nor hurriedly push it out for Nature requires it to stretch & slowly dry out before it can fly & display her grace

 

 

 

 

A Beautiful Tomorrow Awaits You

fighting to stay alive in uncertainties...

There is no retreat in uncertainties but avoiding the paths of destruction allow survival

As the world gets smaller, the need for territorial ringfencing, protection & domination rise

Few, if not "NO one", is/are prepared to share; Man destroy Nature to selfishly exploit the land

COVID is a stark reminder that when Nature strikes back, Man has no retreat but be destroyed mercilessly

Unfortunately, Nature doesn't gives warning nor is merciful; worse, Man will destroys men

Only the honest, compassionate, life-loving persons will survive Nature's wraths

7.2bil persons on Earth are not too many but the rich, powerful and ruthless, together with their apparatuses & cronies will be destroyed in the next Coming

Half is (will be) destroyed if nukes fly as diseases do not wipe out that many & poverty, crops & land destruction will "drain off"  another half

After 2-3years post-destruction, Man would have adapted, adjusted & lived within his means & helping one another is a key to survival

Will above happen? If it happens, it's the result of Man's greed & selfishness, not GOD's doing

The world is nearer a nuke war with US sabre-rattling & Trump's intent to remain in Presidency despite losing the election; a war will allow him to be the War President without the need to handover to the new winner

Taiwan is less likely to be the war catalyst but India will be mad enough to allow the US to ignite the powder keg

When, and if, provoked, China will hit the source rather than just the conduit

There is nothing to worry as it's not within the ordinary man's control

Live your best, live happily and healthily 

When everything blow over, a new world shall rise

 

The comfort of the world is "it's blessed by Mother Nature with abundance"

There are more than enough to go around & foods are available for all

Industrialization, technology, AI & man-made desires complicate the basics of life

When farms are industrialized, fowls, cattle, sheep, livestock, food are engineered to meet demands

Their DNAs & habits are re-engineered to expedite growth & GMO food with their genome altered & pesticides poison the food chain - RIRO - Rubbish In, Rubbish Out

Man must emancipate their minds to free the world again &, by extension, free himself

The future is refreshing, rewarding and have abundance

Live and let live    

 

 

 

 

 

Talking My Way To Victory

 so long as you are alive, there is a chance...

Live simply

Nobody dies living simply & with basics :  water, shelter, food, clothing

Poverty is not that there are not enough to go around but the top hoard & waste while the mid-to-lower are deprived of the distributions

Wealth & food are hoarded by the rich & powerful

More than half of the $16.7 trillion in new wealth was in the U.S., which grew $8.5 trillion richer. But that wealth around the world is increasingly concentrated among those at the top. 

 

The top 1 percent now owns 50.1 percent of the world's wealth, up from 45.5 percent in 2001 - Nov 14, 2017

Some day, the world will go to war over drinking water

The world is becoming poorer as 99% shares 49.9% of the world's wealth

At extremes, more die of hunger due to the lack of accessibility to food and clean water than lack of...

There is no need to fear adversity especially if it affects everybody

If it's everybody's problem, then it's universal - no single person need to be burdened by shared problems

When major earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis strike... stay away from their destructive paths

Luck is with all those who need not die

When nukes (wars) strike, even if you are enjoying the "peace of shitting"/toilet, you die; there is no running away for those within the radiation circumference

The evil cast their outreach to maim and destroy yet the innocents suffer;  the worldly worries are not you nor me

 

In any scenario, create positive environment & move away from deadwood, critiques & naysayers

Count your blessings and small wins & surround yourself with motivated, positive people

The secret of achievements is not giving up nor be buried by weaker, blame-searching souls

Spend your time to look for solutions instead of delving into the problems and witch-hunting

Energy must be well spent & positively expended

Nobody will shed tears for your in defeat but the world will cheer you in victory

Share the joys, the laughter and the crowning glory

Live every day like it's the last & you live heavenly

 

“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” - Vince Lombardi

What's with all the hue and cry when the good times return and you are not there

Stay on, be calm & be prepared; when opportunity presents, pounce 

Having no money is not a problem; with health, you can go in search for money

Being born poor is not a curse but dying poor is your own doing

We each have our own dream and we waddle differently towards our goals条条大路通罗马...someday, somehow, we will make it

GOD never decide your destiny but you : Providence is part written & mostly work to crystalize

"Don’t count the days; make the days count." - Mohammed Ali

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” - Mohammed Ali

Finally, COVID has made many impossibles, possible

I shall build up my health & return to the stage again

The slow pace isn't a poison, the determined & potent mind conquer all 

Sooner rather than later, the world will smiles with me - The Winner

Your Vibrant Self Attracts Others

be happy whatever happens ...

There are just too much uncertainties & variables that cause abrupt changes

Fear not as if you don't know, why worry? There're simply no basis

Whatever must happen, will happen

Expect the unexpected and the lower (to nil) expectation, the lesser the disappointment

如果该发生的 应该已经在路上了

Ant Financial wanted to raise us$34bil (IPO) & was grossly oversubscribed to the tune of >us$10trn

Many were disappointed that they didn't get any allotment but two days before listing, the listing was scrapped; nobody is any wiser

The biggest loser is Jack Ma; an almost No 1 billionaire in China

In this trying period, stay calm, retrain & be ready, mark your time...watch with eagle eyes & when opportunity presents, pounce

Covid is faceless; anyone can be infected & the recovery is not assured though many regain their health

The longer term side effects on various organs is still unproven but definitely fatal - an incremental chance of making existing illnesses worse

While we remain careful, healthy and practice good hygiene, we cannot discount the element of surprise 'attack' - in GOD's hands

Being born and the time of death are "never a choice" - life is finite & the end is a surprise

Death the leveller - the only equality in Mankind

"I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.” - Isaac Newton

Any worthy leader will live a simple life and have patience and compassion for his fellowmen & the world will be a better place to live in

“A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life.” - Winston Churchill

Speaking the truths and act truthfully are virtues of a good leader. The commoners do not make demands but are pleased to pass the days with minimum to nil disruptions. Costs of living & taxes are the biggest disruption & potent forces for changes

“Nobody really cares if you’re miserable, so you might as well be happy.” – Cynthia Nelms

Happiness & being happy is a state of mind that's found within ourselves. When you were born, you cried while your family members & friends cheered loudly. When you die, your family & friends cries while you lie there motionless, emotionless & your chapter ends. It is clear that others' laughters & tears are not yours. . . & you'd soon be forgotten

Stay positive, be healthy, be happy ...for your vibrant self attracts others

The world loves a Winner 

Live heavenly when you are on Earth; do not seek heaven nor hell after you pass on as every chapter is different & nobody has return to prove that there is heaven or hell

All Worries Will Suddenly Disappear

 moving forward ...

In 2020, COVID-19 has destroyed and paralyzed economies & decimated industries

Little were spared; saved for medical services, health care and medical supplies

There were moments when time stopped, emotions were erratic & spirits low  

The air was still, the surroundings were hollowed-out & people were 'caged in'

The usual crowd disappeared, shopping malls were emptied & 'ghost towns' abound

Fear not as this is the deliberate lull forced on mankind

Stay home-bound, masked up or risks your life; the choice is clear

Covid does not discriminate; life is fleeting when Covid hits & the sun may never rise on you

Infection spreads readily amongst crowds & coughing, sputum, saliva are potent spreaders and the virus is air-borne 

It's a global threat - but when Man is "caged-in", Nature recovers

Tomorrow will be better ...provided Man is reformed

The earlier Man refrains from destroying Nature & be compassionate, the earlier is salvation

No man's an island & time is borrowed

Globalization became a strange word when countries "lock down"

A new normal shall emerge ...alas! Guess, it's another six months

The future is an eCommerce world where 30% of what you are doing now races through the eThoroughfare

Brick & motor only slow down the processes when algorithms decipher & decode the situation

Man's choices will soon be digitalized & EQ will be scarcer

There is no need to spend long hours at work as AI, robots & technologies routinise work

But, what good do free hours offer to mankind; leisures

Don't give up; it's a little lonely but you're not alone

Need not despair as jobs disappear because AI-machines replace Man

Take life easier as more leisure become available & your meal tickets are good for the year

Develop the mind & ease your body into better health

Empty is not void 

 

2020 - is a year to stay alive and healthy

Any excess is a bonus while you wait patiently and sanely until the ceasement resumes

Do not be driven into despair by your own unregulated speed

When it affects everyone, it's everyone's problems, not yours

When the virus menace is over, the world can returns back to normal

 

 

 

Live In Harmony As Evils Are Rooted Out Of Earth

 be happy, come what(ever) may ...

There has been a truce from COVID for a while

Many businesses are attempting to make a return but social distancing and restrictions on gathering are hampering recovery

Some have grown fat whilst many sit by to watch life passes by

It's not much of a choice when the fear of infections is real & the authorities are unsure

 

There is no "one solution that fits all"; opening up again to all locals is just the first step

Without effective & accountable leadership, the task force will continue its rudderless journey

Many say its not easy to government but nobody was forced to take the luxuriously paid jobs

If the kitchen is too hot, get out

I am sure there are many suitably qualified persons who are willing to do the job with a heart, care & share and at half the price, paper qualifications aside

When & during calamities, money helps but is not a solution to the many problems which are about survival

The world has plentiful to go around if not for hoarding

Hunger & frustration is not about shortages but caused by unequal distributions

Without "care & share", coupled with greed & self entitlement, many suffer 

Leave the selfish & elite out and much could be harvested & distributed; harmony returns

GOD is fair; those who are magnanimous and righteous shall be rewarded & saved in due course

2020 is a year to seek sustainability, safety and good health, not to be recklessly adventurous

Stockmarket - financial markets, boosted by liquidity, will end the year losing half its peak's gain - only a steadfast hand can manoeuvre its volatility

Gold should close the year above $2,000 & it's not surprising to see US$/S$ trading under 1.35

What's the use of money if money can't buy necessities & basic commodities, including food? Inflation shall rear it's head as shortages fire up panic demands

There is no need to worry too much about global giants sabre-rattling as those with nukes need  to be level & sound minded

Any accidental wars are going to be settled with nukes to draw to an amicable close

US + EU versus China + Russia + Iran are the most potent explosive combination

India, Japan, Taiwan & Eastern Europe are surrogate grounds for weapons testing  

An upsurge of mutated COVID virus is gonna upend the truce that the world seemed to be enjoying 

Do not throw caution to the winds; wear masks, keep ample distance and stay safe

Cautionary - Store some food and water, not hoard, in case the uneventful happens

Death is not scary but extended period of uncertainties wear off the Souls

When the globe goes into a convulsion, Man(kind)'s days are limited

Deaths angels don't discriminate between races, religions and creeds

Be humble, magnanimous & spare some for the less-abled and less fortunate 行善

The wicked, selfish, dishonorable, scheming...shalt end as GOD's dish out their dues

And the world will becomes a pleasant place again as Nature coexist harmoniously with Man/Human

The Future Is Bright

 the future is fog...

Life is as uncertain as ever & nothing's clear

Covid, trade wars, sabre-rattling & military gamesmanship, greed, misinformation, anger, fear & fear mongering, ignorance, apathy

Every new cycle in life gets more dynamic and dramatic

The crowded Earth makes matters worse

Why must US go around destroying other countries like Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan & create storms in SCSeas? Their banditry must stop

British, Portugal, France...western powers are all the same - conquer, loot, 'scorched the Earth' strategy & retreat

The ports in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines ...were returned to local administrations  

Asia, after the year 2000, became ruled by Asians as Macau returned to China - the 21st Century is the Asian Century

October - the last quarter of the year where more changes are expected; for the better or worse

2020 will go into history as the year that the world's businesses stopped & the people quarantined

Many "IMPOSSIBLEs" became possible - countries locked down, planes were grounded/clipped, people were quarantined, commerce stalled, eCommerce & teleconferencing flourished, Mother Earth gained a breather

F&Bs, travels, hotels, airlines, cruises, hospitality services - were decimated whilst non-essential & non-urgent medical treatments were shelved

The world needs to slow down and fend for each other instead of fight against each other

Together there will be more to share

Divided, the house of cards will collapse

 

Where have the brains and logic of politicians gone? Law of Comparative Advantage & Law of Competitive Advantage are thrown into the dumps

Well. well...the greed & ignorance of politicians & the wealthy will cause anarchy

The island of rich cannot live in a continent of poors

Poverty is not caused by wealth creation but wealth hoarding; there is enough to go around if everyone shares 

What does the future holds? Plentiful & positive

If the rich hoards wealth & hunger prevails to all and sundries, there will be rebellion for want of survival; the need to eat to survive

If there are compassion & care, the world will be a happier place to live

Everyone knows "from dusts to dusts"; you came naked & shalt return naked...& alone

Either you care & share or the deprived will fight to survive; the former is less likely

After destruction, it's reconstruction ...& only the finer Souls will survive

What will destroy half the world's population? Not Covid but an accidental war that escalate into nukes exchange - a war to end all wars

I'm not bleak nor negative but ultimately 该来的已经在路上 there is no cure for stupidity

2020 will close with a blip - uneventful - if only we survive
