I'm aging.

I'm becoming more jaded and cynical. More intolerant in general.

I try to still be a positive influence on the world and the people around me but my outbursts are more frequent and often they negate any positives.

In truth I see most of the world behaving that way. Some have attributed that to pandemic related mental issues but while that may be a factor I'm also sure it's not the only.

I see it in the YFs and I see it in adults. I see it in famous people in politics and other disciplines as well as in "civilians."

My religion attributes it to end times signs, but the reason makes little difference to those of us and that includes all living through it.
