we are contending with cmimate change that is catastrophic
we are living thru a pandemic
we have dangerous people in power playing dangerous games politically
we are so divided as a world at a time when unity is the only way to move us forward
1. trump. in power playing games creating division. usa seems to be the brink of a historic election that could bring about chaos and even a civil war of sorts. both sides are armed and ready to take to the streets if their side loses, both convinced the other would have cheated to win
democracy itself at stake with nothing to believe or hold on to. not even the power of the people to vote for their leader
2. the virus. 100 000 cases in usa alone. europe in second or third place. everywhere a crazy resurgence id the virus. lockdowns imminent. pockets of safety in sg and nz. nowhere else seems safe. this may go on, interminably.
3. violence. France. cartoonists. beheading of teachers and killing of people in churches. instead of calling for calm leaders standing behind the cartoonists. Poland. protests against abortion laws.
