This healthy minded life is a half life, impoverished for its willful ignorance of the other side, the dark and decaying side that always wins out in the end. Those who go through life thinking that the power of positive thinking is all that is needed to get by are like denizens of an imaginary land. For them, the sun always shines, the weather is fine, life is abundance. They don't realize that summer doesn't last forever, that the summer hut they've built for themselves will not stand the first frosty winds of autumn, never mind the winter. Such are the acolytes of perpetual joy. They embrace a philosophy that can only sustain itself in the vigor and energy of youth. When that goes, like the summer, they find themselves philosophically and spiritually ill-equipped to deal with the new conditions.

In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government. "This time we received the coordinates of enemy vehicles marked 'V' in Kyiv region," it added. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app.
