There has never been a time in history that wasn’t “the worst time ever”, and those problems are long forgotten.
From my parents time: a scary unstoppable new killer virus called HIV, cold war and nuclear arms race, rising violent crime, the disappearing ozone layer, etc, etc.
Not underplaying anyone’s difficulties now…life is certainly hard for a lot of people. But there’s reason to be optimistic. These problems will pass, and then there will be whole whole load of really shit new existential problems…and the cycle will continue.
This too shall pass
