These are terrible times” I keep hearing. Violence, disrespect, disaster. “It’s never been this bad.”:
Well, yes it has. There were World War II with the Holocaust; the Great Depression, and Bubonic Plague, for example
When were there good times? Certainly not the ‘60s with war and protests or the ‘70s with recession, Watergate and gasoline lines.
How about the 1950s? There was a postwar boom, a smiling general as president, no profanity on TV. But what about racial prejudice, few jobs for women, polio—oh, and the Korean War? We were convinced we would be annihilated by atomic bombs in World War III by now.
I do think climate change is a worry. But If you are down and fretting over who is president or who history might be president….you would be depressed at any time in. Maybe work for a candidate? Or turn off TV news? Got to move on.
