History

With much of the world having been in a precipitous meltdown over the past couple of decades and continuing to hit a new low with each passing year with no end in sight, one wonders whether this is the new normal or whether the ongoing madness will eventually end so as to usher in a brighter dawn.

Fortunately, Mother Nature has blessed us with a hitherto unknown phenomenon dubbed the “oqual cycle” that helps us to revitalize our society after we have gone astray as is the case across much of the globe today—coined from Latin, the adjective "oqual" literally means "84-year".

In a manner that the daily cycle lends us an indispensable mechanism for recharging our batteries during the night after a hectic day at work, the oqual cycle is equally necessary to reboot our society after it becomes corrupted and choppy over what appears to be a period of 84 years on average.

Since our childhood, we have not only heard ad nauseam the cliché that history is cyclical but it has also been shoved down our throat time and again.

Well, our gurus and mentors were truly onto something in that we now know that history is in fact oquacyclical—it repeats exactly 84 years on average courtesy of the unavoidable spell of oqual cycle on our precarious civilization.

In short, the oqual cycle serves as a model par excellence for making sense of the ongoing sociopolitical trials-and-tribulations of our own times that in no small part elicit a wistful yearning for the rather sweet memories of our recent past from the second half of the 20th century.

Why has humanity lost its moral compass today?

Why are our leaders clueless about how to change course?

How will the ongoing madness around the globe end?

Are we teetering on the brink of a nuclear armageddon?

When will the good old days return?

The oqual cycle has you covered from every angle.
