DAY 13,000: Step lively

When you start saying and thinking that the world has gone to hell in a handbasket, you are officially old, whether you are thirty-four or ninety-five. Every generation probably thinks this, decrying the sad state of affairs, the dreadful mess politicians have made, the younger generation’s sins, and so much more.

You are not the first to be in this position, and you do not know everything, and you are probably not in charge. Absent a nuclear war or global pandemic, you are in a more privileged position than any generation in history.

Instead of just complaining, do something to try to make things better.
