Why has the world gone to shit?

Here's the thing... There's always shit hitting the fan, that doesn't change. What has changed is our perception. We see everything that happens everywhere all the time right in the palm of our hands. Our ability to have control over any of it hasn't changed much. I was born in the 60s when a president, presidential candidate and a civil rights leader were assassinated which is pretty intense and everyone is aware of it. There were other events that were "big deals" at the time that younger people today aren't aware of. It's a thing that strikes me as I get older. I guess that's how it goes, we all together stress over one thing or another. The first one I remember getting wrapped up in was the Swine Flu outbreak in the 70's. My 5th grade class got a new textbook with a picture right inside the cover of a kid getting an inoculation shot. The needle device looked more like an industrial staple gun than a traditional needle and I was scared shirtless of it. I waited for my turn to get that shot and it never came. The next news headline replaced Swine Flu and the whole thing blew over. My point is these things come and they go, it's nothing new. I'm not saying don't be concerned about the state of things just don't stress out too hard. It's not on your shoulders to save the world at least not yours alone. You do have an effect on things just not everything.
