Depending on who you are the world is an amazingly positive and upbeat place with no problems that can't be easily fixed and with an awesome outlook...or it's fucked - maybe heading towards being fucked - with little hope of salvation.
Think about what's going on around the place with conflicts that seem to have no acceptable resolutions, countries supporting aggression against other countries, economic wars that have been going on for some time now, the decline of manners and respect (even self-respect) and the rise of the cost of living, credit debt and the widening of the socio-economic or 'class' gap, housing crisis in many countries, consumerism, lack of personal cyber-security and the rise in crime. Consider how reliant humanity insists on being on technology, robotics, AI and other such things that do our thinking for us and contribute to diminishing personal skills and attributes, the demise of work-ethic, the family unit, the sanctity of marriage and even the line between the two genders are blurred...people identify as whatever they like (I think they should mostly identify as cunts, but that's just me), the way human beings treat the planet like a dumpsite, pollute the environment, destroy the plants, oceans and animal species with impunity...Nah, the world isn't really a positive and upbeat place...sure, there's glimpses of it but it's not the general state of play, just a thin facade.
I could go on but I think you get the drift; I think there's so many things wrong with the world (people) today and I just don't see it improving anytime soon because of, well, because of people.
I thought I'd put it out there for you folks to comment so here's the question:
What has changed in your lifetime for the worse, why do you think it's changed and do you see that thing reversing?
You may want to comment on something specific to your location, city of country, or generally with something that has a broader reach. It might be a general thing to society or an individual, yourself or others, or something nature and planet related.
I've got a bonus question for you, just to balance out the "world is fucked" mood of this post...ready?
What act of kindness, generosity or selflessness have you witnessed someone else do that you feel brought a little positivity to the world?
