After my post on why governments around the world are advising people to stock up on essential supplies, I've received quite a number of questions and hypotheses.
Some say WWIII is coming soon.
Some think it's about the use of nuclear weapons.
"Trump is going to nuke Iran", some said.
Then there are others saying "Putin is going to nuke the whole of Europe", another comment said.
Some asked: "Why hasn't our government advised us to stock up?"
Some said:"You're spreading falsehoods again."
While others remarked:
"No worries. The Singapore government has already stocked up on everything for us. PAP is the best!"
Personally, I believe it has got something to do with our power grid, i.e. energy supply.
Why? Because The Simpsons said so. 😄😄😄
The Simpsons even gave us a date — 17 November, under the Great Blackout. You can search for it.
Jokes and conspiracy theories aside, I personally believe this has something to do with potential disruptions to our power supply. Why? Because many of the supplies governments are advising people to stock up on seem to be intended for off-grid scenarios, where access to electricity and essential utilities may be disrupted.
Is WWIII coming soon?
Seriously, I don't know. Maybe. But IMHO, I DON'T think it's highly probable this year.
Anyway, there's really no point worrying excessively about WWIII.
If something on that scale were to happen, things could unfold so quickly that we might not even have time to react.
So, rather than live in fear of what might happen tomorrow, let's focus on the present, appreciate what we have and remain optimistic.
Life goes on. Stay prepared, but don't live in fear.
