Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times - I’ll leave you to decide where abouts in the cycle we are...
It is terrifying when you contemplate exactly how precarious the world is at the moment. I mean, it’s pretty much continually a mess somewhere but our current and potential western leaders seem to be a particularly special flavour of horrific at the moment. There doesn’t seem to be much alternative on offer either. It’s disconcerting to find ourselves living in countries whose headlines we would expect to see coming out of some of the more corrupt countries in the world.
It’s almost as frightening to realise how many people just don’t see it.
