I'm, going to say it - I genuinely worry about 'the future'.
Maybe for a number of reasons - but -
While it is, and ever was, always the case that we must hand over the reins to the following generations - these times are their times now - it seems ever more certain, simply, and evidently based on what is already happening, that there will be way less real-world humanity and far less compassion between humans.
Heaven help the 'bothersome' and 'needy' elderly who might take up time, effort and money in 20 - 30 years time.
I'm sure every generation has muttered it before, or similar, when they get to 'middle age' but has there ever been the degree of fundamental change that there has over the last 20 years?
Society has surely not been so clearly uninterested in the concept of being humane, so nakedly uncaring and often outright unpleasant for quite some time in our social history. But this is already now accepted as absolutely normal by so many.
Bravo Brave New World.
So I guess it is my time to mutter it, but I genuinely believe that society really is f***ed this time, probably beyond salvation.
For all it's otherwise positive aspects, Social Media has evidently become the most gruesome jack-in-the-box.
I also suspect that situations are being orchestrated - but that is another discussion altogether.
Apols, I externalised a bit there! I am genuinely, and increasingly bothered/worried by 'it all'.
