This Should Not Be Happening In 2022

I find this an odd statement, regardless of the topic. You may like something and wish it wasn’t happening, but why should it not be happening?

It’s a complex world. You live 1/8 billionth of it. Just because you think something should or shouldn’t be happening doesn’t mean everyone else is on the same page yet, or anymore.

Things shift. Life can be complicated. People might think we are so modern. I would imagine that people in 1,217 also thought they were super modern at the time. Also in 1812. Heck, there was even an overture named after that year. Impressive.

Remember, everyone here was born and had to be trained or they followed a role model. For every, single, little thing. And each one might have been different.

You may want a different world. But this is what we have. Work with it.

Only When It Happens

You can consider other perspectives. You can even prepare for things in advance. However, nothing can make you fully ready for exciting or challenging times. You can truly experience it only when it happens.

For example, a parent or grandparent dying is more impactful than you would think it would be. You know that in theory, we are all going to die. In addition, you’ve had years and sometimes decades to prepare for the moment. But when it happens, it can be quite a shock to the system.

Winning something special or seeing someone special after a long time can also be intense moment. You can guess how you would feel. But, living it is another level.

It’s good you can’t feel the extremes until those unique moments. It saves those very special or intense moments for only when it happens.
