  • Thank you all for your comments. I have read them all but not able to reply to them individually. I must say though, we are living in the most comfortable time in any point in human history. Modern conveniences and access to medicine is definitely the highlight of modern times. I also recognise I have much to be thankful for in my personal life. Stable, well paying job, a wonderful wife and healthy wonderful children. I could’ve been born in any part of the world, at any point in human history and overall I am grateful for where I am right now.

    However, after more thought, it does feel like globally something has shifted since 2020. More conflict, more division, more anger. Are we leading up to something much worse? Who knows. Social media hasn’t helped either - immediate access to everyone’s thoughts and opinions I don’t believe is a good thing whereas before people had to specifically write to a newspaper and maybe have their one liner on an issue published, now it’s all open for everyone to know. When I start feeling this way, I tend to switch off for a while and come back when I’ve had a breather from the world. Looks like I’m due again.
