Once a child leaves his home, his house, and ventures into the world, he meets others, different human beings, with whom he shares something and yet who are also definitely someone else, someone other.
Meeting the other becomes the most interesting, most important part of life. There is a task to be done, a duty even, to someone greater, older, there is a growing up happening , experienced like being in a movie been shown at enhanced speed, and there are others.
I wrote what I see, and this is what I see, and if I comment, this is the comment.
I do see multiple interesting and important Substacks inside your Ukraine Peace Initiative Substack, and will keep reading and enjoying all of them.
If I was writing your Substack, I would do it differently, but I may well be wrong.
You are doing a great job. Keep writing. And listen to yourself. Not to others, but if any comment resonates with you, you may think about it.
Thank you for your kind words and for engaging so deeply with the ideas in our Substack. We’re glad the work resonates with you, and we welcome you to adapt or rewrite any of our articles for your own network—provided you always note the original source. Our content is crafted for a specific niche, not broad audiences, so repurposing it for your preferred audience could add unique value. Different perspectives breathe life into ideas, and we trust you’ll bring your own voice to it while honoring the foundation.
Your encouragement means a great deal. We’ll keep listening (to ourselves and to thoughtful voices like yours) as we move forward. Wishing you equal inspiration in your own creative endeavors!
Enormous amount of serious effort, and I am afraid most will be misunderstood, not even heard or listened to, or just missed.
If you are serious about your message, stop and think.
Your message, in this form, has only value for yourself, and a very small circle of like minded friends. Creating this enormous body of work has helped you find balance. It is your work, a finished text, a message, a proclamation, an explanation connecting all the various information you have gathered in your life and created by creatively connecting wisdom and information.
But if you would like to share what you have gained by this hard work, investing so much time and energy, share it with other people, you have more work in front of you.
I think you need at least three different substacks, and ten times smaller pieces.
If you want to be read, heard, understood. At least three come to mind immediately. Let's give them names.
Truth. A Substack that would serve as a source of unbiased information. Only facts, a timeline, a lexicon, an encyclopaedia of events.
Wisdom Council. A list of links, connections on all the known,, honest, wise, brave people writing on the subject of war in Ukraine from outside and inside like Mearsheimer, Sachs, MacGregor, Aaron Mate, Panchenko, K
Personal spiritual Substack explaining things, events, discussing future based on your own experience, values, wisdom.
It is like a giant book containing three or more different books inside. You need an editor, to help you recognise these different books, all being worthy, all being needed, and from them as separate books. And then editing separate chapters - this is already well done.
Thank you for your feedback. While we appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts, we don't recall soliciting your advice. Who are you to assume superiority and offer advice, anyway? You did not even bother to justify your self-acclaimed "expertise" on these matters expecting we should trust you for some reason. We find your unsolicited advice regarding our communication strategy somewhat presumptuous. We have our own approach to communicating our message and believe it resonates with our intended audience. Regarding your assessment that our work "has only value for yourself, and a very small circle of like minded friends," we respectfully disagree. We are confident in our approach and the value our content provides beyond a small circle. We have put considerable thought into the way we present our content and its accessibility.
Instead of being superficial in your review, perhaps a deeper engagement with the content itself would offer a more accurate understanding of its value and scope. Focusing on the actual content and its arguments might have provided a more constructive contribution. Your suggestions for multiple substacks, while noted, don't align with our current strategy for disseminating information. If you do find value in our work, we would appreciate it if you considered sharing our articles with your network on social media, as that would be a more constructive use of your time and effort.

Enormous. Impressive. Great. Wise.
