The world in general is becoming an ever more angry, blood thirsty, and violent place.

I see this reflected in everything in life these days to a level I’ve not seen it previously in my life, from the manner in which people drive angry and aggressive, to our sports, to the quickness at which people want to lash out at people at the drop of a hat, the callousness to the loss of life, hatred and vitriol in our politics, intolerance to opposing opinions, and general hatred for humans they deem unworthy like themselves.

While the world has always been full of violence in humanity, I don’t think I’ve experienced a time where people are at each other’s throats like I have today, a really really angry place that’s certainly not getting better, but much worse at every passing year it would appear to me. When everything is going our way, we can mask it, but at the slightest opposition the beast comes out in people today, and with little in the lines of governance.

I think you see this everywhere in the world, but I don’t think you see it demonstrated to the level that you do in America in particular compared to the rest of Western nations. Why are we so angry and violent and at the ready to go at each other’s throats at the drop of a hat?
