Things Fall Apart<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way \u2013 in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not losing your mind, everybody else is. Things are crazy and getting crazier. Something must be done. Somebody, please do something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If paying attention to global events overwhelms and results in a combined sense of dread, concern and bewilderment, you\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s not simply because humans have more access to more information than ever before that you feel this way, there does appear to be a quickening in the pace of the unfolding of humanity\u2019s latest chapter. Things are genuinely falling apart, but things are always falling apart. Likewise, things are always being built and created. Governments come and governments go, as do global empires and monetary systems. Everything is dying and being born all at once, constantly and forever. This will not change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, there are periods in history when the entire paradigm you\u2019ve been accustomed to living under changes rather abruptly and for good. A change of this nature alters the entire game on a global basis and happens perhaps once in a lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
