Sleeping soundly

Human biorhythms are fascinating and during the same day we can experience ups and downs and even have inclement weather send us into little tail spins. This is all normal of course and with life experience we understand we will soon extricate ourselves from the little pit we've fallen into.

Contrast this more typical phenomenon against the current epidemic of anxiety and depression we are in which is a different ball game altogether. The world is a more grey and less secure place and that uncertainty does not bode well for those with conservative mindsets who prefer sure footing.

I always think here of the example of religion and what the comfort of following a script brings. When you remove the black and white dictares it unnerves those who desperately need them. The current state of the world does not suit anyone who preferred it just twenty short years ago and, while many in minorities suffered the yolk of repression under that structure, it allowed anyone it suited to sleep much more soundly at night.

It didn't matter quite so much if others didn't.
