The way I see the world is heading is not good, I don't have much hope for the future of our youth. I think all hell is going to break loose, it's started. Free speech and in fact freedom itself is becoming nonexistent.

I do think it's very possible, sadly. It looks like it from everything that's been happening these past few years, but I hope with all my heart that it can be avoided.

Still hopeful. Today's turmoil can be a catalyst for change even if the view s muddy and dark now.

The Second Coming (1919) by William Butler Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

I believe we are in the end of days and all this war & hatred is absolutely pointless.

@Tumbleweed They have existed as part of the Greek Orthodox Church since the great schism of 1054 A.D.

@Dharmamar hopefully they got away. many got away by the grace of God

@Dharmamar I'll have to look into that. I'm interested now!
There’s no reason for pessimism.

Everything happening today has happened before, and will happen again.
