Non-Christians who are 'switched on' to current events are constantly in a state of panic. They simply do not know what to do. Christians, on the other hand, are overjoyed and forever filled with optimism because they know that they are safe with the Spirit of Jesus Christ standing right beside them 24/7.

It's an interesting read for sure. But as I read through the comments, I can't help but feel 'broad stroke here' that most of the responders are older people. 30's 40's 50's 60's perhaps. Perhaps for a lot of people, life is just hard and the good 'ol days seemed better. I heard this growing up myself, every generation seems to reflect on the good 'ol days.
Life is moving along. Many are not happy with how things have turned out, in their own lives. A lot of it, poor decisions on their part, but want to blame others, the world. No doubt, with the t.v., phones, the internet this world of ours seems to have gotten smaller. A lot different for most of us when we were much younger.
The news splashes all the horrible atrocities around the world. People killing each other. Using chemical warfare on their own people. The constant threat of killing people because of a false interpretation of a radical theological viewpoint.
Wow...your view of old is rather broad stroke. But, you do have a point. When you are old, say like 32, you realize that somehow along the way you forgot that you used to know everything. That's the crazy thing about getting old. We know everything before we gain wisdom then figure out we know nothing once we start to become wise.
Life is not easy. However, if you dwell on the negatives, they can bring you down. You do have a choice, to live life and search out the beauty the great things like how people are helping others, medicine to help the underpriviledged, love of family and friends.....kindness, unselfishness, giving, smiling, just trying to be honest and do the next right thing, every day!!
Life is hard, but you do, we all do have choices each and every day. Focus on the positive, not the negative, try to be the best you that you can possibly be. It's a big world and you live in a small part of it. Make a difference. They say one of the most fulfilling things in life is giving back, helping others.....I believe this is true. May you all find happiness and love of your fellow man and woman. It's your choice!! Peace!! ID !!
