But not as we tend to think to ourselves \u2013 starting from Monday I\u2019ll go on a diet, starting from Monday I\u2019ll quit smoking, starting from Monday I\u2019ll start working out, but let them reach a firm decision \u2013 starting from Monday I\u2019ll respect different opinions, I\u2019ll work for the common good and most importantly, I won\u2019t spread hatred every day, first thing in the morning, with every statement issued by the party.<\/p>\n<p>But we know that\u2019s not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Today, people, not only politicians, wish everyone good luck, and starting from tomorrow they\u2019ll revert back to their curses. Today they\u2019re speaking of the peace of God, from tomorrow they\u2019ll call on God to punish all those who have different opinions. Today they\u2019re moralizing about tolerance and common values, and from tomorrow they\u2019ll go back to their old habits \u2013 they\u2019ll insult on all grounds, be it party affiliation, nationality, sexual orientation, vaccination status\u2026 I mean, discussing the dilemma whether an Australian law should be obeyed or the fact that Novak Gjokovic didn\u2019t want to get vaccinated against Covid, friends said all sorts of nasty things to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s enjoy a few more days in this festive tranquility.
