Even allowing for our innate negativity bias, it is hard to deny that instability, confusion and conflict appear to be growing around the world.

How much of that is a result of the 24-hour news cycle and toxic social media is hard to say, but the feeling that things are deteriorating seems to be fairly widespread.

It is almost as if the current paradigm is running out of steam and nobody knows how to recharge it.

So don’t.

Think about who we are, what our role on this planet should be and how we might fit in with the rest of the family.

There is a new paradigm taking shape and if we all help it grow, it might just get us out of this mess.
