What is the cause?

Out if WW II life got better and easier... and better and easier... and better and easier... and better and easier... and now we have FALSELY convinced ourselves as a nation that we can do ANYTHING... with NOTHING

There is no actual solution... just a cycle anymore.

Personally I have accepted the fact that I am already dead (or will die sometime... or soon enough)... it makes the simple stuff of life a genuine pleasure.

Quite literally the bedtime Pray of my childhood... "Now I lay me down to sleep... I Pray the Lord my soul to keep... If I should die before I wake... I Pray the Lord my soul to take."

...and maybe take a few communists with me. Amen.



All the reasons listed in this thread are probably correct to one degree or another but they are symptoms of a greater, more basic problem. And that is “the faith”, the moral anchor part of this cycle of nations that has been rejected by us; lost.
