I have been involved in a certain hard issue (of international impact) and sometimes I feel I cannot do the normal life things anymore.

It seems so shallow. I look at people chit chatting about this and that and think "what does it matter? You know this all may come to end soon and you are doing nothing to stop impending disaster...." or even worse, I get angry if I hear somebody complaining about their everyday "troubles". Like that girl with huge dilema "I like coca cola, but it's making me fat", when me and my friend wanted to discuss SERIOUS DIRE things.

During my recent trip to Ukraine somebody told me "but we are fighting for this normal, everyday fluff, for the normal life, so people can live it". I guess. But to me "European civilization" is not about *****ing about shallow things, while ignoring the important manners.

I know not everybody will care for the things I care for (eventhough I consider them existential crisis to our whole civilization... but I have always been dramatic somewhat). I guess at one point this is over and if it works out, I will have to live the normal life and... enjoy it even.

Still. I have hard to find it hard to relate to most people, especially living in a country which has been declared one of the safest places for life, the capital one of the best places for live in Europe... but from that *****ing and whining that goes in the subway, the malls, the somewhat overpriced caffes and pubs and the FB, you would say this is Alleppo we are talking about). And people ignore what goes not not so far from here, eventhough it COULD impact us and shatter our "safe and good place to live" reality we don't even value so much at the moment.

Not sure what can I do with it. Maybe I just needed to rant....
