How much can humanity take? The strain is really getting awful, speaking personally. It just feels like some really big something is just waiting in the wings for the crescendo.
It does seem like every few days there's some new catastrophic event unfolding, or worsening developments in older ones. The strain of which is, like you said, getting really awful. I too get a sense that something really big and really terrible is waiting for the time to be 'right'. But when that will be and how much worse things will get in the meantime...
Yes! It's getting to the point that something awful happens daily. I just watched the news today and it was basically the "horror hour", non stop bad news! The phrase I am hearing constantly in conversation is "What's the world coming to?" and people are definitely on edge. And yes, I have also been feeling the strain, it's like an undercurrent of dread, sensing that things are about to escalate.
I would agree, and you can add to that the weather. Yikes.
It seems that scanning a lot of the live sports events so many now are being interrupted or cancelled by nasty weather. Just golf for example there are golf tours all over the world, and it is commonplace now that they are interrupted by weather. Mostly biblical rain.
The weather channel has an active weather segment, and it seems that there is catastrophic weather events happening every day now. And has been like that for a while.
There seems to be no joy in Mudville right now. Everyone is getting on edge. Things are definitely ramping up.
Politics is a mess, active shooters, stabbers, drivers going off all over, lifetime weather events and catastrophes. Makes you wonder what is next coming down the pipeline.
