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.

"Russians are really disconnected from the reality of what happening to their country," Andrey said. "So Telegram has become essential for understanding what's going on to the Russian-speaking world." "He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said. "The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth." As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows. The original Telegram channel has expanded into a web of accounts for different locations, including specific pages made for individual Russian cities. There's also an English-language website, which states it is owned by the people who run the Telegram channels.
