What’s something most people don’t understand?
Hi everyone
In my view most people do not understand “THEMSELVES ” Also that no matter how worst a situation looks or is, it is not here to stay.
Would like to share recent experiences of ongoing US, Israel -Iran war
Amid the ongoing war and UAE caught in the middle, nature has given us a moment of pause and a breather. Despite Heavy rain, thunder, lightning, strong winds, waterlogging, and traffic jams since last week — we remained calm, relaxed, and resilient.
External circumstances are not in our control. What we can control is our response to them. Also, no situation remains the same forever—change is the law of nature.
Panic never helps.
When the war had just begun, During the initial phase of drone and missile interceptions, we would receive SMS alerts. Each time, we would rush to the ground floor, even in the middle of the night and would return once we received the “all clear” message.
As days passed, we adapted. We became more resilient. Now, we stay indoors calmly or take shelter in the nearest safe building if we are outside.
What I’ve realized is that the most important thing is to understand yourself. That awareness helps you stay centered, focused, and steady—no matter what is happening around you. It helps to deal with things more positively and practically.
