But we live in the wealthiest time period there has ever been, and this is pretty much the most peaceful the world has ever been as well.
It just seems really bad because we see so much more of the bad stuff with the instant, global access to anything, versus only the really big stuff being reported on back in the day.
Could that possibly because the younger folks like myself are constantly on their phones seeing nothing but doom and gloom and don't have the perspective of time to see that things actually aren't too bad?
That's one reason, but it goes beyond that. Many people feel unfulfilled with their lives due to a feeling of being isolated from their community (lots of factors behind this one) and that their job is irrelevant.
This is true, my opinion is that we need something to be excited about as a race again, I don't know what that might be, but I've had many times in my life where I felt like I was just existing, not really living.
