Arcanine2009 10/05/21 9:37:26 PM #3:	Getting objectively worse? I don't know about that... Poverty is decreasing, less hunger in the world, more access to education, better technology for healthcare, more convenience with electronic technology. I mean socially speaking, I miss the days or talking over the phone before smart phones, social media and online dating. I think it's all in the mindset. I do actually think life is getting a little bit better globally, but even if it's not, you can be part of that change to make it better, or at least your life better. You have to stay positive for you, your family and friends. We are all suffering in our own ways. Some more than others. But we aren't alone. We just have to communicate. --- Less is more.
