This is sad to see. Although it's interesting to me that older people seem to be happier than people in middle age. Is that true? I thought there was an elderly mental health crisis. Rise in suicide rates among elderly etc

Myself am ncreasingly depressed to see that my children are set to inherit a world that is deepening in inequity and loss of opportunity and rise in social media which only makes everything worse. [b]Kids have it tough these days.[/b][/quote]

I’m not going to say things are great right now, but I think people have a very short view of history to think things are exceptionally bad now.  It’s not the 70’s when teenagers were being shipped off to Vietnam, or the 40’s when all the men were fighting WW2, or the Great Depression when people were out of work and starving, or the Civil War when the whole country was embroiled in war.

Sure things could be better, but let’s keep some sense of perspective on it all. [/quote]

But shouldn't we want a better future for our kids and descendants? I do think it's concerning that it seems like the 90s were apparently the pinnacle of human civilization and everything since then has been going downhill.[/quote]

Well said and agree[/quote]
