Uneasy

Right now society feels like an untethered boat drifting along in te waves. People feel less sense of purpose because everything is in flux and the order we used to count on is no longer there. 

Everything has been put into a question and is being re-examined. The nature of work and relationships were put under the microscope during COVID and we have yet to understand how they will be brought into some new and predictable formula we can count on. 

Everyone I talk to feels the same in that we are in a stasis mode with no clear resolution until a new world order is established which humans can depend on for stability.

The world is the reverse of when I was the age of my children. We had economic certainty and a way forward except that people outside the social norms felt trapped and were largely repressed or in hiding. Today the human mosaic has been revealed to us openly but it needs a safe and stable environment which can provide for everyone. 

You can tell that eventually the tumblers will fall into place but it will take time. The end of these historical cycles are often messy and regretably they tend to end with much tumult.
