It is said that some people lock all the windows as soon as they have a closer look outside and put an even better locker in the door.
At least, that's what I've heard …

Sort:  

That's true in some cases, some people are like that, but some people discreetly peek in. from a distance, at least it seems that way to me. Otherwise, neither you nor I can change anything, the players in geopolitics play their own game, and we can only be mute witnesses and watch this world we have known change in it own way.

When the pieces you are trying to use refuse to play, no one is in a position to authoritatively decide the game. It's up to us. We can all too easily be put in a tube and used as a lubricant. We should deny the madmen at the levers the wet support that they need.

Yes, but change happens in two ways, and I do not like either of them. Either it's authoritarian and you end up with blood running when the mass goes wild, or on the other hand, it's slow-cooking the frog to the boiling point when you realize you're cooked. What are you going to do? Because you're not going to be out of it when something happens.

Unfortunately, we have lost the ability to take responsibility and handle it wisely. Our compass seems to be our inner resentment, which always prevents us from finding well-thought-out solutions.
To give sarcasm a chance: Democracy is the potato for whose savoury preparation we don't seem to have found the right recipe yet.
