NEVER rejoice or celebrate or brag over the death & departure of anyone from the face of this earth.

Our world is rife with crises that not only impact the individual, but are resoundingly within the individual’s grasp (for the vast majority) and means of control. Crises that range from physical health (Chronic Metabolic Syndromes like Type II Diabetes or obesity), to mental health (like depression and rumination), as well as financial health (such as the average individual lacking an emergency fund). But there is a philosophical crisis going on as well that the vast majority are unaware of. Making this crisis the most dangerous, as its impacts are going unnoticed in the shadows. Any influence that goes unnoticed makes for it to be a major driving factor. Like a virus that nobody knows is there but is pushing other health complications throughout the body that endanger the host.
Perhaps the most prevailing attribute that I have seen and heard from individuals of every culture, political affiliation, and walk of life here in America is having a bleak outlook on the future. People do not see their world getting better, not just in the near future, but they don’t see a way for things to improve at all. The prevalence for this outlook has remained persistent over the past handful of decades, and the population that is holding this worldview has swelled in numbers as each following generation of youth gets influenced more and more by the society around them. The adults are talking about seeing ‘no way out,’ the news is talking about it, the music is talking about it, and Hollywood continues to push out more and more gripping tales about how our current iteration of reality is utterly f***ed.
