We find ourselves at a peculiar crossroads — watching the unraveling of once-stable systems, while distant lands stir with echoes of something oddly familiar, even comforting. In the noise of our Western constructs — the false progress, the chronic self-importance, and performative freedom — a contrast reveals itself in the quieter strength of those who’ve endured actual hardship.
