Well I guess I will have to wait :(.... I wasn't as awake as I am now so I don't have that perspective in my memory or experience. I will have to trust your experience and I hope what you say comes to fruition. I trust it will. Again, my impatient side leads. And coming from my family background, there are some.old wounds that also get wrapped up in people not taking ownership for their part. The pandemic is a gift that keeps on giving layer after layer.

Yeah, I think it will happen over a much shorter time than the wars. Mainly because the wars didn't cause a widespread problem in the lives of so many people like the lockdowns did. That's part of why in late 2022 early 2023, people were against things that were "popular" in early 2022. Which is much quicker than what happened to Afghanistan and Iraq.

And this affects pregnant women, babies...all the way to those older or dying (like we couldn't be with our loved ones as they were passing). And it is worldwide. So maybe this is our great awakening. It makes sense what you are saying. Thanks for these perspectives. It really helps me feel less desperate and angry which is no good for me or anyone I engage with.

I'm glad to give you a little bit of hope. I totally understand the frustration that you're having and have had. I felt it very much, but I've had some experience dealing with this for years before the lockdowns. It takes a lot of work to get in a good enough space to deal with it.

At the very least you have recognized the problem. Which is beneficial for the process.
