The world has always been going the shit and will continue to go to shit until the end of time. It takes mountains to influence the tides of nations. You should take the responsibilities you can bear, but no more.

The only difference is social media let's us see the anxiety. I'm sure during the bubonic plague, the stock market crash, and the world wars plenty of people had high anxiety.

Globally, crime is at all time lows, extreme poverty is at all time lows, in most countries people can say they are gay without being killed.

Yes we have major problems but I stand by my statement that the average human is better off today than any other time in history.
