War is never the answer, but the consequences are everlasting.

We've gone from Covid to a full-blown war in Europe in two years. In wars, there are no winners, and there are ruins, losses, and children picking up the ashes of destruction into the future of their lives. I looked at this and made some posts about Ukraine: My one week spent there: Budmo post last week, remembering the happiness I felt in Ukraine. Then relating to the current trend, NFTs, Crypto, and the metaverse, which focus on an alternative reality, what has happened to our world? What about our reality now? Our reality, where are we going with this?I wish for diplomacy and common sense to prevail before this takes back to an age where war was the only topic. We are in 2022; this shouldn’t happen, we should communicate, and we should tell positive stories on how the world is changing.
