about

For many years in a row, I have enjoyed fantasizing about global midwar (WWI and WWII) and postwar (WWII) euphoria. These thoughts seem to me consonant with my love to the first half of the twentieth century's art and state of mind in general. Perhaps I'm wrong or exaggerating. Even more, I'm sure I do. The end of the war, which claimed about 80 million lives, cannot cause euphoria, that's for sure. But later, after realizing and experiencing all the grief, it is quite natural for something almost forgotten to appear - faith. Believe in something new and important that you can join personally. This is where scientific discoveries begin, the economy seeks ways to stabilize, and the way of life wants to give confidence in the future, while motivating to work, earn and provide help. Human life is once again becoming the most valuable treasure on the planet. And homes, cars and travels all over the world are no longer an unattainable luxury.
I am very impressed by today's affirmations such as " we'll rebuild it", "we're gonna do better", "we'll make it work again". For me now, these are not the empty words. Vice versa, these are thoughts that warm and motivate me to continue working. I also think that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, these most steadfast, bravest and most devoted people in the world, have become a symbol of faith for us and the whole world, sort of a religion in the most honest interpretation of the term. A God who does justice by defending good and punishing evil. But there will be a time when, after winning the war, they will also need faith. The'll want to know plans for tomorrow, as it were. And then it will be possible to rebuild, do better and make it work again. And that it is the time when I forecast the euphoria to come, also reinforced by the awareness that the way to rebuild both country and ourselves is exactly the way we've always dreamed to choose - in our OWN way! Without an external enemy inside. Without a hybrid provocateur and troublemaker aside.

This composition is about this - about reconstruction. About the simple-to-imagine construction of a new home under the rays of sun. About realizing yourself and your mission as an important part of a great whole. No, this is not an artificial Utopia by Thomas More. This is the attitude of every citizen to his country, like to a business-partner, like to a piece of art or like to playing in team.

Our soldiers are confidently winning all Ukrainian back on the physical, psychological and mental levels. But that doesn't mean they don't need help. Even more, right now Ukraine needs it more than before! Because such a beast as russia cannot be left undefeated. At the same time, it is time to think about the future. The voluntary organization Dobrobat is already engaged in this process. However, there is no direct fundraising account in this particular direction (as far as I know). Although please agree with me, it would be nice to raise funds for the Ukraine's reconstrucion with a composition of this subject. But Dobrobat is a part of the Lazarus Charitable Foundation, which raises funds for medicines, military vehicles and much more that Ukrainians may need now or in the future. Therefore, in case you have an opportunity and desire to support Ukraine you can use this link to donate Lazarus lazarhelp.in.ua/en/homepage/#help
