Most people would probably recognize the quote about “the only thing to fear is fear itself.” It’s been a favorite saying for decades now. In a way, it was also the mantra of the last half of the 20th century. Unfortunately for those of us now living in the first half of the 21st century, I worry that the old saying may no longer be true.
Right now, I think that the thing we have to fear is apathy, and that does worry me for the future.
Looking around the world today it’s easy to find the many problems we face. Sadly, it’s equally just as easy to find a whole lot of people who just don’t care that we do.
Yes, there are many vocal members of our species who are trying to change things (for good or bad), but considering we have about 8.5 billion people on the planet right now….where are the rest of those voices?
