RE: Summer Is A Long Way Away, And Yet...

in Market Friday • last year

There were hits in Kyiv, but not as terrible as in the Dnipro. 😨

I am also ashamed to talk about holidays when I know how you are now

You know, I like to read your posts. They always have a message, a problem, and a dream. Posts like yours are my connection with the life that I miss, with normality. I hope that when the war end, I can return to that life. And sometimes, just like you, I still can't believe it's happening.

Sort:  

I saw on the news the tragedy in Dnipro. I saw a woman, probably a mother, cursing the bastards! I cried, really, please believe me.
Thank you for what you said about my posts, I try to do what you say but I don't know if I succeed. Your opinion means a lot to me.
I hope evil does not win but it is treacherous and lacking in humanity. You will probably endure many more such misfortunes before you and the rest of the world can stop it. Then everything will return to normal, you will rebuild a better and more beautiful country and enjoy a good life!

I believe you!.. That's why I can't watch the news, I can only read. I thought 10 months of war would make me less sensitive. But war is a trauma for everyone who sees it.
I went to the cinema for the first time in 10 months, 2 days ago. I really wanted to watch that movie. And you know, I sat with tears in my eyes for almost the entire session, and at the end, I burst into tears. Don't know what other viewers thought. For some, it was just a movie, but for me it was the story of my grandparents, parents, and now mine too.

Thank you so much for our conversation. It's so important to me as well!

I'm glad this conversation is useful. I was held back in my comments thinking you now have other priorities taking up your time. It's hard for someone like me to understand what's going on where you live in wartime conditions. The fact that people go to the cinema is unexpected to me. You see, we weren't used to war, we didn't think it was possible on such a large scale.
I'm so glad you went to the movies, it proves that life, the desire to live freely and happily overcomes brutality and that, surely, even if it will be very hard, good will win. It can't be otherwise. Either good will win or there will be nothing!

Your life, dictated by the hardships you do not say, resembles your life before the war. People want to behave as they did before. I remember seeing a news report that a woman was killed while walking her dog. Walking the dog? I was shocked at first and only then did I understand that people wanted life as before. All people want that and that's the way it's going to happen!

Ah, dogs. They can't sit still for hours, they need walking to do their ... things, and don't care war or not. But they were also scared. I remember 2 elder women with dogs were often with me in a basement.

People just want to live somehow. It is impossible to be constantly afraid or live in a basement for 10 months. Those who were very afraid left. Those who remained adapted. The cinema has a shelter and a generator. If the power is turned off, they turn on generator. An air raid starts - everything stops, everyone goes to shelter. But in fact, a lot of people lost their jobs.

I know how it is with dogs, I've had a few myself. We have to adapt too, humans adapt pretty quickly, and that's good for survival. I forgot about this aspect... I imagine many jobs have disappeared, I wonder how people live without an income. Perhaps there is some help for them?

Martial law is different. All I know there is some finansial help for those who was forced to move from their homes, inside of the country. But it's not a big.money at all, and payed for few months. War is incredibly expensive ((( Army's first, and then civilians. Difficult but forced choise.

Your words about cinemas and all such made me thinking a lot. On the very first days, all daily stuff seemed weird. Even preparing meal. Even a call from a hospital with a reminder about an appointment. Everything seemed unappropriate. But day by day, months by months, you have a choise to adopt or go crazy...

I understand what's going on with you, I hope you get used to normal life as soon as possible, as it was before.

Rescuers already found 30 bodies, and 34 are still missing 🥺🥺🥺

Yes, unfortunately. I see it on the news. Why do people have to die? Why is it accepted that even the military must die? That's an accepted crime. It shouldn't be possible for people to kill other people, other beings.

I totally agree. Sometimes I think about myself... and I cannot imagine what on earth can make me kill someone.🤯🤯🤯 Although, to be honest, sometimes my heart is overwhelmed with anger

Yes, fury! It exists and sometimes it's normal to fight back against harm or injustice. I was thinking about the fact that people find it normal to kill other people, in case of war. Sometimes even when it's not necessary, to kill people who are not a danger... children, old people.

What I know for sure, there is a huge gap between the thought or wishes or intentions in our head, and real acting. You can feel hatred or anger to a particular person that is caused by something terrible. But just imagine you have a gun in your hand, or a knife. And things changed. At least for me. That's why I don't understand... But this just means we are too different

When I was a child, I stayed with my grandmother for a few years in the country. Then, like the silly child I was, as well as my playmates, I killed various small animals, lizards, frogs, and insects. Then I wanted to grow birds and I had nowhere to get them, so I took chicks from nests and tried to look after them myself. The chicks didn't want to feed and died.
It took several years of growing up to understand what terrible deeds I had done.
I haven't killed a fly since. The spiders my wife is afraid of I catch in the house, with care, and take them outside. I have a permanent feeling of guilt because of these childhood mistakes.

It is unimaginable to think of harming a human being but I know that if I were a soldier I could not choose, I could not refuse orders, but I think I'd try to be human. Of course, this is theoretical, nobody knows how they react in real situations, as they are now in wartime.
