In some cases I don't know how people can go on living. Sometimes I simply don't get it.
But today I watched the news. A Ukrainian young woman maybe 20 or younger described how the war and Russian soldiers have murdered her whole family. She had tears in her eyes and you could see her existential suffering. It was bonescrushing. It must be a true horror movie to experience something like that.
But maybe I was just biased she was very beautiful. I think many humans have such a bias to associate beautiful people with positive character traits which is in fact pretty stupid.
But I also had this opinion about people who did not look that good. It is sometimes astonishing how people can go through life despite so much horrible things happened to them. I am rather the opposite life has broke me and I am just a wreck. Currently I am doing somewhat okay but I see no real hope for an happy end.
It is admirable how people fight to live. How they get strength by different mindsets. I think it is quite unfair. The brains of some people get into self-destruction mode and others people get stronger by enduring suffering. For this Ukrainian woman I am not sure what happens with her. I think a priest helped her to cope. So maybe she finds strength in religion. Personally this does not work for me. But everyone is different.
There is a saying "Everyone's life is a tragedy". I think one could misinterpret that. I think it does not mean everyone suffers equally. Rather we all lose people in our life, we all know unhappiness to a certain degree and we all know that we often cannot have what we want. People who pretend to have everything they want are often not really self-aware or just lying in my opinion. We don't know the story of another person when we meet a stranger this is why we should respect each other. LIfe can be so cruel and we don't know more than the surface when we look at each other. Some people don't like to talk about their pain because they had bad experiences. Sometimes when calm people start to open up we realize that they are going through hell. Though everyone copes differently.
