Serendipity

They say, “Ignorance is bliss.” And in many ways, it truly is.

To understand the world—the beauty and the wretched—is also to recognize the monsters that lurk in its shadows. Lately, my posts may have seemed distant, detached. The truth is, I’ve been struggling with something deeper—an ethical, moral, and existential crisis.

It’s hard to see the world with the innocence it once held when all I see now is how money and power have corrupted it. My world used to be just like yours. You turn on the news, absorb the latest crisis, and move on. That was the extent of the day’s chaos—until it wasn’t. Until I saw beyond the headlines. The life of the 1% revealed a world where we are nothing more than ants in a dystopian machine. The rich are rich, but that doesn’t mean they are wise.

What do you do when the world you live in becomes exposed? When the cracks in the foundation, once hidden, begin to show? When the justice we hope for turns into anything but justice?

The people we are supposed to admire, those who have achieved so much greatness, often use their success as a veil to conceal the darkness they refuse to acknowledge.

I write about duality often, but lately, it feels as if there is no balance—only extremes. The unfathomably rich and the hopelessly poor. The revered and the corrupt. The beautiful and the grotesque. How do you find equilibrium when everything seems to tip violently from one side to the other?

I don’t have an answer. I really don’t.

I’ve witnessed too much—wealth and desperation, selfless parents and those who neglect their children for their own desires. The weight of knowing, of seeing the world stripped bare, is enough to drive anyone mad. And I won’t pretend I know how to process it all.

Maybe I’ll dive deeper into this crisis. Maybe I won’t. Maybe, for the sake of those I love, I’ll let some things remain unspoken.

But here’s what I do know: I am human. And the people around me are human too. I will never treat them as less or more. I will love those I truly love. I will respect all humans as such.

This, I believe, is the foundation that many have forgotten. And so I will live by it—not only for myself, but as a reminder to those who still seek the middle ground in a world of extremes.
