Maybe I’m Wrong: A Pursuit for the Meaning of Life

The year 2020 was a peculiar year for most people. It certainly was a challenging year due to the COVID-19 crisis. Many disruptive events took places, and it was hard to understand what was going on based on past personal experiences. I guess how it feels to live a revolution. Some people behaved weirdly, and nothing made much sense. I certainly felt lost. But with the help of friends and family, I managed to figure it all out. I want to invite you to read about my personal story, mainly what happened in 2020. During the process, I ended up fighting with dear friends, and I was accused of being radical. Perhaps this trait helped me figure it all out.
The year 2020 will enter history as one of the most challenging and revolutionising years in the history of humankind. People displayed signs of pessimism, fear, anger, hatred, and despair. Most of us felt perplexed with the behaviour of some people who have different ideologies. In a new era of high connectivity and easily accessible information, some people fell prey to quick conclusions and shallow thinking. To some extent, most of us did it, too, to a certain degree. Some of us rushed to conclusions without a more in-depth reflection on some matters. And some of us even accepted to promote minor injustices to defend our ideology. Humans have behaved in unexplainable ways many times throughout history. Many injustices have been boosted by large populations, including crimes against numerous minorities. How can we come together and promote true unity to prevent injustices? Honest and purposeful debates combined with critical thinking are two fundamental tools in the process. But there are other easy ways to remember rules that may help us in the challenging task of avoiding unnecessary confrontation. I invite the reader to reflect on major recent events and with a little help from reason, it's definitely possible to understand the motivations of people around us and even make recommendations. Predictions help us to validate our model. Critical thinking will be a powerful ally in the process.
