I am no stranger to social disruption because I grew up during the 1960’s, one of the most painful decades in the life of our country. However, I will have to admit that the sheer volume and bitter rancor that we saw last week was in many ways even more stressful. When I get to this point of feeling overwhelmed with negative inputs, I have to go back to the basics and thats exactly what this Forbes post does:
“We are living in tumultuous and divided times. It can be difficult to stay positive in spite of all of the depressing news around the world, the overt ignorance and prejudice that have been resurrected by the populism that has resurged in the west. It can feel like the world is regressing in real time after years of progress. The future looks pretty bleak, and that we are sacrificing longer term interests and goals for short term political benefits of the party in power, consequently creating a worse quality of life for future generations.
