The Sin of Pride

Looking back over the year that was, so many things have happened. Honestly, it’s hard to believe that all of this was crammed into just 365 days. And yet it did. Life in 2022 has been hard. Especially as people have stepped out from their caves and have attempted to return to a life of normalcy. True, COVID-19 has still rampaged and caused chaos but as the year has gone on, it’s become something that’s accepted by most able-bodied people in the community. And what of those individuals that are immunocompromised or have disabilities? Well, they’re simply part of the price that most people pay as we transition back to the ‘new normal.’ 

For many, if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

The start of 2022 was a fraught time for many of us in Australia. Soaring cases of Omicron and a lack of rapid antigen tests (RAT) meant that many holidays were cut short because of testing requirements to visit family in other states. On a personal scale, it had me panicked for attending a friend’s wedding reception early on in the year. For, if I did not have a RAT, how would I be able to test and make sure I would be hale and hearty?

But it wasn’t all fun and games. During the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic endured a trial by fire in trying to come to compete. His visa was cancelled, then reinstated after a challenge with the Federal Circuit Court, and then cancelled again by the then immigration minister.

Prince Andrew was stripped of his military titles and royal patronage because of all his shitty behaviour. And in more recent news, he’s been formally banned from Buckingham Palace.

Not long afterwards, there was a huge eruption in Tonga that led to the underwater communication cables being destroyed. This meant that people could receive no news about their loved ones as the islands were battered by tsunamis as a result of the volcano saying that enough was enough. The Philippines also saw a volcanic eruption.

In the world of gaming, Microsoft bought out Activision Blizzard. However, even now, that sale has yet to go through with the FTC suing Microsoft to block its acquisition. How it will all shake out is anyone’s guess but for for this loyal fan of the PlayStation, I certainly hope it doesn’t come to fruition. Even if it does, Activision Blizzard has so tarnished their reputation, it might be a good long while yet before peace can be restored in what was once a much celebrated company.

Back out in the world, Burkina Faso’s military took over the country. And then, of course, before spring had hit the northern hemisphere (and autumn down here in the south), Russia invaded Ukraine. Why? Well, supposedly to save it from fascists. But as anyone who is keeping up with the news cycle knows, the narrative continues to change because the resistance that Ukraine has put up has stemmed, and occasionally reversed, the red tide. 

In Australia, many were shocked by the sudden death of famous cricketer: Shane Warne. Easter brought with it severe flooding in NSW and QLD, with fears of Japanese encephalitis spreading in the southern states. The rains, of course, returned in the spring of 2022 and even now there are parts of Northern NSW that are still recovering. 

Beyond that, there was Ash Barty’s retirement from tennis! After reaching World Number 1, the Australian tennis player stepped down and back from the eyes of the world. 

Elsewhere, Sri Lanka was undergoing a severe economic crisis. Many a protest was held, with many finding their way into the presidential abode and enjoying a dip in the President’s pool. In Pakistan, Imran Khan narrowly avoided a no-confidence vote to be ousted as Prime Minister for Pakistan. A week later, however, he is tossed out. As for the Philippines, Marcos, son of the previous dictator, was voted in as President of the Philippines - with many of those that had voted for him buying into the narrative he and his mother weaved when once they were pariahs to the Filipino people. 

Honestly, it is astounding how quickly people can forget the crimes of a previous regime.

In May, Labor won the Australian Federal Election. Thankfully, unlike many of their counterparts in other places of the world, the conservative party didn’t attempt to claim election fraud. Rather, they bowed out with some grace. But instead of providing bipartisan support for ways to better the country, it could be said that they’ve returned to sniping off snide remarks from their very much diminished position as the opposition. And even though Labor won, much of it could be attributed to the introduction of Teal Independents and other smaller parties taking the fore.

Beyond politics, there was flooding in South Africa, Ukraine won Eurovision, and shooting returned to America after a brief stopper with the COVID-19 pandemic. While some of the shootings were motivated by race, others occurred in schools, which led right back to the debate of American gun control. Something that has still yet to see resolution as pro-gun lobbyists continue to advocate for dangerous guns out in the public.

With COVID-19 somewhat in the background but with the world still struggling with certain supply lines, many countries were struggling with high inflation. Many countries such as Tunisia, Ethiopia, Ghana, El Salvador, Turkey and Pakistan found themselves in an economic crisis. It certainly hadn’t helped when COVID-19 had disrupted trade across the world. But with low interest rates to combat the lack of spending when the virus was running rampant, the sudden war in Ukraine (the breadbasket of the world), essentials also became harder to acquire. Coupled with the effects of climate change...well...is it any wonder?

Back in politics, the landmark Roe vs Wade case was overturned. To combat this, Biden signed an executive order to protect several key human rights. Across the pond, Boris Johnson was forced to resign. He was followed by Liz Truss (who lasted about 40 or so days - not even as long as a head of lettuce) before being replaced by Rishi Sunak, the first Prime Minister of Indian ethnicity.

Shinzo Abe was shot while giving a speech, before later dying.

And in Australia, scandal of scandals, our previous Prime Minister: Scott Morrison, was discovered to have secretly appointed himself the head of five Ministry Departments. His excuse? To better manage the COVID-19 emergency.

In celebrity deaths, none could have competed against the passing of Queen Elizabeth II this year. For Australians, though the death of Olivia Newton-John hit close to home. While I mourned the loss of the much beloved Angela Lansbury. There were also a slew of deaths among the old communist regimes with Mikael Gorbachev and Jiang Zemin.

As the latter months of 2022 continued, there was the launch of the James Webb telescope. Since then, my Tumblr dash has been filled with magnificent photos taken from space. Other big events included record heat waves in Europe with many countries across the globe also suffering an energy crisis, hastening the need to transition to renewable energy.

Russia, still trying to subdue the Ukrainians after a disastrous foray that should have ended in mere days, was forced to partially mobilise their reserve troops. To punish the other countries in Europe for stymieing their attempts at bringing Ukraine to heal, they also closed off gas supplies to Europe. 

As October approached, protests began in Iran following the death of a woman held in custody by the moral police. In Australia, however, many of the populace were rocked by revelations of personal data being compromised by companies such as Optus and Medibank. And in Seoul, after reopening to tourists following the COVID-19 pandemic, several people were crushed to death in a panic stampede in the narrow streets in the Itaewon neighbourhood. 

The rest of 2022 was a cavalcade of chaos. Trump, defying the advice of his closest advisors, made a tilt for a 2024 presidential run. Even as the January 6 committee recommended that criminal charges be brought against him. An explosion in rural village in Poland spooked many before it was determined to be a result of Ukrainian anti-air defence. Elon Musk, showing how geniuses can still be terribly stupid, bought Twitter and is intent on running it into the ground. Even Tesla stocks have tanked. And following form his acquisition of Twitter, many people have seen what a terrible boss he would be to have.

On Tumblr, with many Twitter users fleeing one social media site for another Hell site, the good people decided to bring back a long lost classic. That of Goncharov. The best mafia film ever made. Or, at least, that’s what they would have liked people to believe.

As Christmas started ramping up, the FIFA World Cup was underway. In the end, after a hard fought battle, Argentina emerged as the victors.

But though 2022 could have ended on a high note, civil unrest in Peru, a shooting in Paris and blizzards bombarding the United States and Canada, have left many without power. In China, after lifting all COVID-19 restrictions following protests, COVID numbers are rising, with many individuals hospitalised. 

Looking back on the year that has been, 2022 has not been the bounce back from the pandemic many have hoped. The economy of many countries is a shambles, rocked by high inflation due to the prices for basic goods. Climate change has also shown it is not going away with natural disasters occurring more frequently. If humans hope to survive as a species, and enjoy our current luxuries (especially in first world countries), there are several things that need to change. 

Although starting at an individual level, this also needs to come from governments and those with the authority/ power to make more meaningful changes. I’m looking at you big oil/ energy companies.

You would think that such companies, knowing how capitalism works, would be smart enough to PIVOT. Don’t keep relying on the same old finite resources that will lead to humans being wiped out. If you want to be clever and capitalise, PIVOT! It’s a common thing for all successful businesses.That way, you won’t be behind the ball. 

By predicting where the market goes, you could make such a killing!

But do you?

No! Because you’re stupid. Holding onto old glories.

If I was your shareholder, I’d sell your stocks fast because clearly you haven’t gotten the memo. Honestly, what happened to being flexible? 

On a personal level, this year has been very heavy on change for me. I’ve grown out my fringe (a small thing), nabbed a promotion, refinanced my investment property and have started trying to date. Will it be successful? Who knows. But maybe in this way, I’ll be able to learn a little bit more about myself and what I want out of life.

Will the world learn in 2023? Or will we only hasten our own demise?

I, for one, would not prefer civilisation taking such a huge hit that it vanishes entirely, but with disease, war and possible other issues in the past, has the golden age of our modern age finally come to an end due to our hubris? 

Only time will tell.

[ad_1] Tusk further informed that he would present the migration strategy at a government meeting on October 15.2 min read Last Updated : Oct 13 2024 | 12:46 PM IST In a significant move, Poland is taking measures to curb irregular migration, driven by escalating tensions with Belarus, by temporarily suspending the right to asylum, according to a report by Al Jazeera. Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk also condemned the exploitation of the right to asylum by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and people smugglers. According to Tusk, they are using the asylum system in a way that undermines the right to asylum's purpose. Click here to connect with us on WhatsApp "One of the elements of the migration strategy will be the temporary territorial suspension of the right to asylum," Tusk said on Saturday.  "I will demand this, I will demand recognition in Europe for this decision," he told a congress held by his liberal Civic Coalition (KO) grouping, the largest member of Poland's coalition government, Al Jazeera reported. Tusk further informed that he would present the migration strategy at a government meeting on October 15. Since 2021, migration has dominated Poland's agenda. Thousands of asylum seekers, fleeing from countries such as Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq's Kurdish region, have attempted to cross into Poland through Belarus. Notably, with 1,300 km, Poland has the longest border with the former Soviet Republics, namely Russia (Kaliningrad), Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine. It is estimated that up to about 15,000 people illegally cross the territory of Poland every year. Two main transit routes lead through the country, according to the European Parliament. The 'Balkan trail' is used by Romanians, Bulgarians and citizens from former Yugoslavia who enter legally because regulations allow a one-month stay without a visa. The second emigration trail via Poland runs from the Lithuanian border to Germany. This route, mainly used by Asians, is dominated by citizens from Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The number of illegal migrants caught at this border has almost doubled since 1996. By mid-March 2024, Poland has also recorded close to 1.8 million people displaced by the war against Ukraine.
