And the world is going to burn down today at sunset and tomorrow the world would be alight with joy.

The storm has come and gone and its revisit isn't due yet.

Make it a habit in 2025 to stop going back and forth with people you know don’t posses a similar intellectually depth to you over complex subjects. The only thing you’ll get out of that is being completely drained out of your energy, frustrated, and on never-ending circular arguments. Just ignore them if you can, and elevate your circle with people who are intellectually your peers that can make you feel heard and whom you can learn from as well.
