It is easy to believe that the world is falling apart while watching the news. Climate change, political division, coups d’état, the global pandemic, Russia’s ruthless war on Ukraine, Hamas’ unjustifiable killings, and the Middle East careening toward widespread violence: all that can contribute to a rising sense of panic.
It may be worth stepping back, however, to get some perspective. It is the media’s incessant narrative that the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Fear demoralizes us, particularly when young, engenders terrible political decisions, and cripples our ability to aim up and to do better.
