UK triggers the official Brexit process in a letter to EU
I&#x27;m a bit tired of reading doomsday messages by now. I am an European living and working in the UK and even though this affects me I have no reason to believe that things will go downwards now. If there&#x27;s anything I&#x27;ve learned so far then that every analysis I&#x27;ve read couldn&#x27;t have been more wrong.<p>It almost seems like the more the UK economy doesn&#x27;t collapse the more people shout even louder how bad the Brexit is. Maybe I am just too indifferent or chilled, but I think the best is to just sit back and watch what will happen.<p>Also I seriously don&#x27;t think of the Brexit that the UK leaves Europe. I think the UK and the EU will strive for the closest relationship possible. The only thing that I see changing is that the UK withdraws from a formal contract with the EU with the hope to negotiate a better deal. I don&#x27;t think this is racist. Not every contract makes the same sense for every country in the world.<p>---
EDIT:<p>Wow lots of responses to this comment. Thank you all. There&#x27;s a lot of good discussion and some suggest that I am more relaxed perhaps because I am maybe financially secure, but that is not true. When I was a child I watched on television the Fukushima disaster in Japan and I was totally freaked out. I was afraid for many reasons and then as I watched longer I was totally amazed how relaxed the people in Japan dealt with the situation. There was a crisis, but nowhere near what I thought would have happened in the western world. Nobody was running or fleeing the country, nobody stopped going to work, etc. People worked together to fix the problem as good as they could and everyone lifted their weight. All news in Europe were talking about how cool-headed the Japanese dealt with this situation and it was something which I never forgot in my life. I then realised that only because everyone stayed calm and cool headed they were able to deal with this problem the way they did. It was not perfect, but boy it was much better than what I thought would happen.<p>So this is my childhood experience which has marked me for life and made me realise that mass hysteria is never good. No matter what the situation is.
