The world of my youth is coming apart. I am living in a science fiction novel where earthlings thrash about in cyber space, divided by ancient beliefs. I am witness to virtual tweeting tribes take up arms and battle to defend their reality. However, if reality is relative how do we unite around differing views and fake news? I fear humanity has been hacked, the malware activated. There is no turning back to the world of my youth it has come apart.
So well said, Sue. I feel the same.

Unfortunately that’s the way I see things as well. Such a well thought-out composition – as poets scribble what we think, making us think we thought the same thing all along. Brilliant again!

Dearest Sue, I feel this so deeply in my spirit, you said it so well. This thought broke me a few days ago, but there is another voice in the silence, making itself known in “the coming apart”, if only we could stay silent long enough to hear it.

We live in a very different world to the virtual innocence of my youth . It used to be if you wanted to know something you would respectfully ask someone older and wiser usually my Grandfather, now kids just google it .
A crazy world where opinion is formed by whats ” trending ” I long for simpler times .

I am of your opinion. Hard to deceive ourselves that things can be turned around for the better.

the truth in this made me cry. I have been thinking about this same thing. The “lost world” was beautiful.

Sorry to make you cry, Michele 🥲 I think as we get older we long for simpler times. We have a perspective and world view we didn’t have when we were young. I remain hopeful but aware that the world as we knew it will never be the same.
