The world feels like it’s changing faster than ever. Here’s a quiet reflection on why these days might matter more than we think.

The Saying That’s Hard to Ignore

There’s an old Bangla saying that loosely translates to: “The days you’re passing are the good ones; worse is yet to come.”

It doesn’t try to comfort. It doesn’t promise things will get better. It simply observes. And the more we look at the world around us, the more that line seems to settle into the air like dust on an untouched windowsill.

A Shift in the Atmosphere

There’s something different about life today. Not dramatic. Not loud. Just… off.

Weather isn’t just a topic for small talk anymore. It’s a signal. Food and fuel prices edge up quietly, and somehow no one can explain exactly why. We’re always connected, yet people feel more distant. Technology amazes us on Monday and unnerves us by Friday.

Even silence feels heavier than it used to.

Are These the “Good” Days?

It’s possible.

It’s possible we’re in a moment of relative calm—one we won’t recognise fully until it’s gone. A moment where we still have choices. Still have voices. Still have time to think, reflect, and move freely.

Not perfect days. But manageable ones.

And perhaps that’s the point of the saying. Not to scare, but to anchor. To remind us that waiting for a better moment might be a luxury we no longer have.

No Instructions, No Answers

This isn’t a call to act. It’s not a warning. It’s just a moment of noticing. Noticing that life is changing. That comfort is fragile. That peace is temporary.

And maybe, if we sit with that long enough, something in us shifts too.
