Is anyone else bothered by the global self-destruction?
I'm getting reallllly annoyed by all the daily headlines about the global meltdown happening...well...pretty much overnight (though it really wasn't, I'd read warnings about this as a child)--- and those in power in denial, despite solid evidence EVERYWHERE that the world is in for bad tidings pretty damn soon and will affect everything.
Hate to bury my head in the sand when it comes to this, but, like everyone else, just struggling to get through each day and stay afloat. Maybe that's part of the problem, maybe I'm part of the problem, maybe I just have too many problems, I don't know.
In any case- I find myself more bothered that my nieces and nephews may have to suffer through whatever calamaties and hard times are ahead. I visited China once, years ago, and that visit with all the polluted air and rivers made one realize how easily it is to destroy a country environmentally, let alone a planet... for good.
I had/have friends that got incredibly depressed with Bush being president- because of the sense of hopelessness to change something that clearly is steering the world in a bad spiral. Trying to guard against the same kind of depression concerning the world melting apart in quick time.
I guess there's always been a clock for each one of our lives, so you try your best to make the little life you had as worthwhile as possible....but it sucks when I think about the young ones that have to deal with a hard world that could have been avoided/could be avoided.
Ough. Back to work.
