Why is the world still in such a mess??

Quite simply: because human beings are self-centred!

Nothing has changed.

Until we all see life as a temporary phase, where we each live to roughly 100 years max and depart, nothing will change

Some part of the world believe only they deserve a good life and that the others are not worthy of the same. Some see certain parts of the world as unworthy. These supposedly unworthy countries do not help themselves either.

If the whole world can just stop for a day. Down tools for a day. And we all take a look around us and ask: what is it all for?
People wish to leave a legacy. Some wish to be remembered etc.

But at the end of the day, none of us will be around to confirm whether or not such legacies last.
How many of those who left a legacy 100 years ago, can a teenager in 2026 list? Perhaps 5? 10? no more than that. So, what is the point?

We create senseless factions and divisions.
We want to celebrate downfalls. Why?
We stoke the flame of division, in the name of preserving a belief.
We ignore the impact on others (everyone’s from somewhere)

I am of course never going to make any difference whatsoever. These articles are just my musings and my own personal outlet to express my thoughts and write them down (I never return to read them again) to clear my head. But it is indeed a great pity, that we don’t have leaders who can bring about a global reflection, a global soul-searching. Do we honestly need to be so horrible to each other? Yes, hate sells and as we can see, people make so much money from hate, but at the end of the day, none of us get to take any money with us, when we die. We leave with absolutely NOTHING!
