Do You Feel It Too?

Life seems to be going along fine, but there is a sense of unease beneath the surface...

I’ve lived a pretty good life for a long time. Definitely not perfect. Definitely had to face and overcome many challenges. But I can’t say that I’ve ever had this nagging feeling before that there is something not quite right about the world today. There is kind of a sense of foreboding… like something big is going to drop and it’s not necessarily going to be good. I can’t fully put words to this, but the sense is here. Do you feel this too?

This news seems full of warnings. So does much of social media. AI is going to eventually destroy us. Climate change is already bringing more damaging weather and is predicted to get much worse. Our political divide is massive. The gap between the top 10% and the rest is growing wider. Because of this many of us feel uncertain about our future. What is your sense about the future? Do you feel secure and confident?

I’d love to hear from you in the comments. Do you feel the unease below the surface? Are you doing anything about it? Or is there also a sense of hopelessness?
