Ladies and Gentlemen, Flight 2023 Has Just Taken Off.

My good people, the risk of flying in the air is well known to all of us. Sometimes, embarking on such a mission requires courage and faith.

Once you purchase a flight ticket, you agree to everything that happens afterward. All you can do is trust the pilot’s judgment to get you to your destination safely.

Would 2023 mean depending on a pilotless flight or some other superior power?

However, this cannot be said of every flight reaching its destination safely. Sadly, many untold stories involving loved ones who took a flight and did not make it out alive have been told, seen, read, heard, or experienced.

If you are anxious about flying even with a pilot in the cockpit, imagine how you would feel if you knew about a pilotless flight.

In some ways, flying without a pilot is similar to flying in 2023. I apologize to my brothers and sisters in the faith who believe that a higher power guides the navigation of every year and that 2023 won’t be an exception.

Our mortal minds are always beclouded by untold and unforeseeable circumstances, which most of the time is reasonable. For instance, many souls who took flight 2022 did not make it on board flight 2023. A problem must have arisen along the way: primarily, sickness of all types must have shortened and robbed them of their lives.

Life is full of ups and downs; you may ask why. It may not be possible for me to answer your question. The only thing I know for sure is that nothing lasts forever.

Any living being is born into this world for sooner or later ceremoniously or unceremoniously to pass into the sunset (humans fall into this category).

Upon birth, all living beings undergo a long process of growth, and as a final stage, they die.

As far as flight 2023 is concerned, what do you expect as a resolution?

As we embark on this new year of 2023, our expectations will differ according to our different faces. According to the last few decades, it’s irrational to ignore tough times. Life has systematically incorporated hard times into our daily routines. I for one, look forward to improving in all areas of my life in equal measure: good health, a balanced life, and everything else I will experience in the future.
