I was euphoric.

So you're more likely to feel in a euphoric state, creativity, find more patterns.

We recall the almost euphoric adoption of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) by the General Assembly on 10 September 1996.

I felt empty and full, hot and cold, euphoric and depressed because the brain is the world's first fully functional quantum computer it can occupy multiple states at the same time.

But, after a few euphoric years, the West began acting more and more like the Cold War s winners. Once the potential military threat posed by the Soviet Union had vanished into thin air, successive waves of NATO enlargement served neither a military nor an ideological purpose.

In the wake of the euphoric mass protests in Kyiv, Russia s president has since said that he can work with whatever government Ukraine s people choose. These are mere words, for in mind and action Putin does not want anyone to rule Ukraine that he has not put in place.

Second, over the past 15 years, hundreds of millions of jobs shifted to Asia, which offered inexpensive and often highly skilled labor. The West, euphoric from its victory over communism and its seemingly unstoppable economic growth, failed to implement necessary structural reforms (Germany and Sweden were rare exceptions).

It is our hope that the Convention will truly be universal and that all concerned will take the necessary steps to ensure speedy ratification and compliance. Equally disappointing is the announcement of subcritical testing by a key State Party of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) that burst the euphoric bubble following the signing of the Treaty in September last year.

Fewer than 10 years have gone by since the euphoric days that surrounded the fall of the Berlin Wall. As our decade began, a new world order was on everyone apos s lips. Many believed that we were at the threshold of a new age of stability, freedom and prosperity. In the ensuing years, we have indeed witnessed rapid growth in the world economy, but we have also seen an outbreak of new forms of nationalism, ethnic hostilities and acts of aggression.
