[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same op same I would like to eject myself off planet earth most days. I've had enough and not only is nothing improving everything seems to be getting worse every single day.[/quote]

My grandparents went through WWI, the Great Depression, & WWII with less drama than you. [/quote]

Do you know much about neuroscience? It’s really fascinating how much they’ve learned about the human brain in recent decades.

Short version is that the closer connections of generations past made them far more resilient to the traumas they lived through than those of us who are inundated 24/7 with coverage and commentary on the traumas around us.

This is of course the greatest of all times to be a human, much easier than times past. But maybe an easy life doesn’t build the values we need - we seem to have broken the concepts of interdependency and decency in the process of having it all.

Frankly given the choice I’d rather have lived in my grandmothers time - she was born just before WWI and died before the explosion of social media and smartphones. She saw unbelievable human achievement and progress on social issues and missed the recent off the cliff of resurgent hatred, fascism and carelessness about others.[/quote]
