RE: Finding A Restful Place, When the World is Collapsing
Indubitably true.
That said, it seems to me positive and negative comes and goes in cycles.
Maybe it's just a type of "sheep effect."

I don't think that the 'world is collapsing' one little bit.
I think that we live in the best of times. On average more people are doing better than anyone ever has in the history of mankind, and not jut a little bit.
A poor person in the USA today is richer than a king two centuries ago.
I blame journalists and the media for spreading lies.
I think the world is shifting; transitioning.
In a global sense, fewer people live in "absolute poverty" every day.
Fatal diseases are being contained, more and more.
Technology does away with "grunt" jobs, more and more.
The populations will shift-- Europe and North America will shrink; much of Asia and South America will gradually stabilize; Africa will boom for a while.
I think the meaning of "a good life" will change... people will become more human BEings, and less human HAVEings or human DOings.
I watch the trail of Millennials drift through our town... they work from a laptop; their lives are what they carry in their backpacks.
They don't care about "nations" or "borders." And they seem pretty happy.
yup.
and the most effective birth control is a high standard of living.
you know i think the millennials are just a fringe cycle like the hippies in the 60's. most things seem to go around in a 50 year cycle and everyone forgets and thinks its all new again
People have be talking up the negatives for as long as i can remember which is about 50 years. but the world is still the same. only thing different is that we have internet and social media. but peoples lives have not really changed for better or worst.
