What are you most worried about for the future?
My life pendulum has swung well past the midpoint of my life. So, most of my worries are for my kids and grandkids.
What does the future hold for them ?
The biggest concerns are the lunatics that have taken charge of their personal asylums.
First and foremost, there is Russia with Putin at the controls. He has to be insane. His actions and his total lack of humanity surely indicate insanity. I mean, does he ever hear the words coming out of his mouth, stop and think, “That doesn’t sound right, doesn’t make sense”. Single handedly he has put us right back to the days of the “cold war”.
Next, there is China with Xi Jinping at the controls. Did China protest with the rest of the world when Putin started his war with the Ukraine. No, they stood on the sidelines waiting to see how it would all pan out. Also, I believe, waiting to see what the worlds reaction would be. China has it’s own “Ukraine” in the shape of Taiwan.
So that’s two major powers who would push us to the brink of a 3rd world war.
And then we have North Korea, under the control of another lunatic, Kim Jong Un. He heads a country, home to some of the most oppressed people in the world. His posturing presents a real threat to world peace. And, for just a moment, the US installed their own lunatic, Donald Trump, in the White House. The world was forced to stand by while those two loose cannons traded tit for tat, insults like children in the school yard.
In my view, the world has never been a more dangerous place. There are so many smaller countries that could be the fuse for a bigger conflict.
And then there is Gaia, Mother Earth, our home world. The home that we have systematically trashed. Slowly, we are waking up to the enormity of what we have done. Global Warming, plastics in our oceans, toxic waste in our rivers.
Is it too late to fix our planet ? I don’t know.
What I do know is that our legacy for our children and grandchildren is a monumental challenge of global proportions.
And that is what worries me about the future. I won’t be here to see it, but I hope our offspring are successful.

Russia, China and North Korea are definitely worrisome, and so is the fact that some Americans make it sound like the USA is as messed up as those dictatorships. There are problems to be solved within the world’s biggest democracy, but that won’t happen with the blunt tool of anger.
I don’t worry much about the future, I do of course wonder what the hell is happening in the word but can’t see the point in worrying about stuff I have no control over
