Towards The Sun
The world, it appears, is teetering on the brink of collapse. Yet, paradoxically, there are those who continue to go about their lives with an unsettling sense of nonchalance. They engage in games of badminton with the same fervor as ever, their laughter echoing in stark contrast to the desolation that surrounds them. Champagne glasses clink, and they revel in mirth, seemingly oblivious to the impending crisis that looms.
They continue to live as if the world is still a haven of normalcy. The question that lingers is whether they truly don't understand the gravity of the situation, or if they've found solace in this temporary escape from reality—a coping mechanism in a world that often seems destined for ruin.
