2016: Taking stock, and looking ahead...

This past year is rather emotionally exhausting. So much so that there were days I didn't even want to read news. Worse still, countries (not only US, but other countries like UK, China, Middle East) have taken an almost predictable, if undesirable, path. Income inequality and wealth gap continue to deteriorate. Nativism, and in some corners, fascism, are on the rise. Ruling classes do not take care of the people, and the people are redirected to blame something/someone else, be it immigrants, or border control. I've even heard some religious friends exclaiming that this would be how end of the world would look like.

I'm not feeling too good about it all. There's no comfort in rehashing 2016, perhaps it's better to just forget about 2016, and look ahead to 2017 instead.

Let's just move on.  New job starting, new venture taking shape, it's certainly time to move on...
