What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

Memories are not set in stone. They change and merge, slightly twist and bend the past according to our needs. I recently discovered that there was no way I played Heroes of Might and Magic 3 in high school, given that it was released 2 years after I graduated. I always thought that this was the game I played the most as a kid, and there’s no way it happened because the years don’t match. I probably played HoMM3 later and my memories of playing HoMM1 and 2 merged with the third version. This twisting and bending is a good thing to be aware of when holding strong beliefs.

Here’s an issue where I keep changing my mind. I hated cars and though I’d never have one. Then I got a small one (Clio 1). I lived in that thing, drove it so much. Then I got a larger one where I co-habited with a mouse. Then I got an SUV. Got back to a family sedan. Then I thought electric cars are the future and started looking for ways to own one. Followed Elon Musk on Twitter before he got political. Then I realized electric cars are still cars and you move 2 tons of iron and plastic to save yourself a few minutes per day at the expense of your health and other people’s health.

Now I think cars should be used as a last resort. People should rather ride horses than drive cars for their daily commute. Who knows what I’ll think on the same subject next year.

Meanwhile, walking gives me content like this for my blog. Had no idea there is an autumn crocus.

  1. For the first time, I met someone who thought like me, and someone who was younger than me too. Yes, dear Veselin, horses and carriages, I think so too. All this newly produced stuff scares me. As we escape from one negative situation, we encounter another negative situation… in fact, we live in a world that moves away from nature and everything natural. I always feel the same anxiety while shopping. For example, I will buy a duvet cover set, right? It is used to be easy, because I knew that textiles were naturally produced. Now, it is not easy to search for natural ones under a bunch of labels. They produce it because it’s cheaper than cotton… As with many other things like this…Thank you, by they way still my books haven’t be sent to me… They are looking for these books. Love, nia
