Edgy

[poliphilo]

 Are people more than usually edgy these days?

The opinion makers say so. 

And I'm noticing a lot of falling out and digging up of old resentments and sudden explosions of temper among the people around me.

I feel a bit edgy myself- and I don't think it's entirely personal.

I reckon the world is tensing up in anticipation of something going "Boom!"

War…

We already have war. I'm hoping for something less mundane....

I think a lot of it is that we can all see the things that are broken, but they aren't getting fixed quickly enough, and anyway we don't agree on how to fix them. (I started to write examples but then I realised I was just feeding the polarisation trap we all seem to be in.)

I reckon just about everything is broken. The institutions no longer serve us, the ideas we are fed no longer satisfy....
