Eh, what will be will be. It’s out of my power to do anything.

The only two areas I’m concerned about is the mid-east, that’s got potential to escalate rapidly.

We're more of less helpless but I do feel concerned sometimes. I wonder what's in store for our children

In my teens I hated it all

In my twenties I thought I could change it all

In my thirties I accepted I couldn’t

In my forties I’m now just thinking f&ck it let’s enjoy the ride

Nope. It will be what it will be. If a ruddy great T-Rex couldn’t stop progress then a horny bellend like me has no hope. I don’t like to think of people suffering, but there’s also something beautiful and magnificent about how the world is its own vast constant thing and the humans and other life on it are just temporary, sometimes brilliant, insignificances

No. As selfish as it may be, I have far too much going on in my personal life to think about without worrying about things I have no control over.

After many years of giving a shit I have come to two conclusions.

My giving a shit changes nothing.

Humans are a blight on the planet.

One of thereasons why we were happy as kids. Kids don’t watch the news, and they couldn’t give a shit, and they are happier.

Stop watching / reading news.

Try not to concern yourself with things outside your control by instead focussing harder on the things you can control and change.

It’s common that people who wake up look out the window and get depressed about weather or news are avoiding the real things they should be addressing

Coffee? The correct word is coffee.

I watch the news, I like to know what's going on in the world.

It doesn't depress me though, the world has always being in conflict somewhere just sometimes it's more publicised.

I concern myself more with things in my own life I have control over.

But would it be such a bad thing if humanity was wiped out? Not really.

As someone who grew up in a war zone I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.

That isn't a flippant response either.

For too many years I was living the news so I gave up watching TV news a very long time ago. I don't need to carry anyone else's load.

I just concern myself with putting food on the table and whatever will be will be.

Nah, everything comes to an end at some point regardless of if we want it to. Better to enjoy while here then spend it worrying about something none of us can control. Same with life really

couple, us we him her.

I worry for my children and grandchildren, my wife our cat's and granddoggy.

I have a few regrets in life one of my biggest was not joining the royal marines when I was younger and choosing a different career.

It's true one person can't make a difference but when that one person is highly trained and put together with others we can make a difference.

As for the threat of nuclear annihilation? Well I grew up in the early 80's when it felt like it would happen daily so this feeling of dread is nothing new.

But burying ones head in the sand is not the way to go.

Being aware and prepared can't be a bad idea?

Best thing I ever did was stop watching the news and reading the papers, they only sell bad news and bullshit.

If you look at the real measurements for general progress in the world, violent crime, murder, medical progress, starvation etc things improve every year.

Love your own life deal with the things you can and FUCK the rest

I don't remember a time when there wasn't conflict somewhere in the world.

It's been a long time since any was on our doorstep with any frequency though. I remember bombs in London, seeing the aftermath and wondering when the next would be.

When it's further from home I guess people think differently. And the superpowers of the USA and Russia have been involved in instigating war so often over the last few decades that I don't see any changes now.

Panic stories sell news, products and advertising. They always have.

There's always a motive when a story tells us the end is nigh. Someone wants to make money from it.

I'm more concerned these days about local issues, economic inequality, social exclusion and things that I can influence and help with. Not whether the world will end tomorrow because I have zero ability to change that.
