Read With Kacper

As December started, so did the reflections on what we've achieved this passing year, opportunities we missed, mistakes we made, and whether we are happy with how we live our time here on Earth. Just like every twelfth  month of the year. But not until now have I realised how the time slips through my hand without me noticing it. I, and most likely not just I, live an active life, doing my best to prepare for the future, learn at school, on extracurricular classes, at home. In free time I watch some entertaining things, or read, but basically it all comes down to a four-word summary: Always busy with something. I dare say it might be a motto of modern times, we scarcely sit down and catch up with the important things, like real-world friendship, reflecting upon your actions, thinking them over. We always think we'll still have time for that in the future. But the problem is the future we're expecting might never come if you don't let it start in the present. Period.

Yesterday I read a book from the genre pointed in the headline, by a polish author with a chilly sounding surname :) It was the third and last part of a trilogy, which was meant to represent a fictional polish politics, and indeed it is such, but what made me wonder is how many parallels you could draw between it, and real world. With this in mind I start to wonder, how dark, sinister, and rotten on the inside is the top level politics in Poland, not to mention the one in US for instance...  I hope I'll never in my life be forced to come anywhere near this sphere.
