Since the war in Ukraine broke up, I have received new bad habits that I want to eliminate.
I did not watch TV frequently before the Russians invaded Ukraine. The truth is that I watched TV 99% only when there was a football game. I did not watch TV news. Since the 24th of February, 2022, since the fucking Putin’s army attacked Ukraine, I started to watch TV news. The truth is that since the 24th of February, I’ve been watching TV news too frequently. Today (I wrote this text on the 1st of April, 2022), I decided to eliminate this new and bad habit of watching TV news.
The truth is that I often analyze what is going on in Ukraine on the Internet. I do not have to feed myself with duplicated news’ portions via TV and the Internet. War and all news about it are like poison. It will be enough for me if I feed myself only war information from the Internet. The best thing I could do for myself is completely cut down on all the war news. Still, I cannot do it. I want to know what is happening in Ukraine.
On the other hand, by donating to charities helping Ukrainian refugees, I owe these people not only part of my money. I owe them something more.
I somehow feel that all the horrific things that happened to them cannot be forgotten and swept under the carpet. That’s why I feel the hard-to-explain desire to write about the war in Ukraine. In general, I prefer to focus on my feelings about it. Undoubtedly, what I feel is anxiety. Moreover, I feel mental pain and compassion for all Ukrainians. I believe Ukraine and the broadly defined Western world will recover stronger from this war. Still, I am afraid that Ukraine will lose much blood before they win this war.
Back to the main topic, I want to stress that I have eliminated one of my bad habits since today.
