Sometimes bad things need to happen to make things better for others.
Funny that you mention that part. A friend of mine said roughly the same regarding the situation in Venezuela. Sometimes war is necessary to prevent greater suffering. Following your WW2 example, maybe war on Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot would've saved millions of lives.
The thought that something drastic is necessary to wake people, especially in developed countries, from their comfort slumber is something that pops into my mind frequently. Everyone has gotten too complacent.
And yes, I'll make this year good somehow. And even if at the end I use the euphemism of "a lot of learning experiences", that would be fine, too. I had a great 2025.
We, as a species, have a lot to learn about each other and the planet upon which we live. Sadly, the lessons don't seem to stick and we keep making the same mistakes over and over with each other and in respect of the planet. We are like a plague, not a good one (I'm not sure there's any good ones actually), and no matter how hard the few try, the many override them and so there's little real advancement in that area. People are more interested in their lifestyle, the comfort and having things than they are in a healthy, functional and happy existence.
