WotD: Soul-searching
The current state of the world has put many of us in soul-searching mode.
From the US election to the war in Ukraine, the Gaza conflict, and the fact that if you are reading this, you have survived a global pandemic, we are all searching for answers and trying to make sense of it all.
Soul-searching is a term used to describe anxiously looking deep within oneself to examine one’s beliefs, values, and motivations.
The US election, in particular, has left many Americans questioning their values and beliefs.
And the rest of us wonder what the heck Americans are thinking.
The country has been divided, and there is a sense of uncertainty about the future.
Many struggle to come to terms with modern American life and are soul-searching to find answers.
The war in Ukraine and the Gaza conflict have also left many people questioning their beliefs and values.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has become ugly, with no long-term solution in sight.
The war in Ukraine, on the other hand, has been fueled by the Russian desire for conquest, and it has resulted in the loss of many lives.
These conflicts have left many people wondering whether World War III has already started or if we are still in a pre-war period.
The global pandemic forced many of us to do some soul-searching.
The pandemic disrupted our lives in ways we never imagined, and it has left many people feeling lost and uncertain about the future.
Many are questioning the way we live our lives and whether we need to change our priorities.
We are all trying to make sense of the chaos around us.
Soul-searching is a necessary process that helps us examine our beliefs and values and make changes where required.
Only by doing this can we hope to make the world a better place.
