Musings On Life.

The world seems to have lost its sense.

What is happening to our world and life as we know it? Who would have guessed a year ago, in sunny summer of '19, what a catastrophic year was in front of us? Pandemics, recessions and an end to life as we knew it.

At times I think that it will all blow over and the status quo that we were used to returns. Living life as we mapped it out in our youth and how generations did it before us. Even the normality of going off to work which we all took for granted, thought of as boring and to be endured, is now not a given anymore. Job security is so precarious that all of a sudden most are jolly glad to be heading off to work, as mundane as they previously thought it was.

In a time when jobs can be gone in a matter of weeks, I find it rather curious and ludicrous how everyone is feverishly trying to go on holiday to other countries and places. Italy and Croatia are firm favourites to many Austrians and come hell or high water, they are going to have their week at the seaside. Whatever next? Surely the aim of the game is to firstly be thankful to even have time off work, secondly, conserve the piggy bank and third, if a holiday at all, then why not in one's own country. So many nice places, so many appreciative tourism businesses who need your custom.

Here's hoping that soon we can all look back on this time as a lesson learned, an obstacle overcome and a hint taken...
