Most likely we’ll muddle through

Most likely we’ll muddle through

Are harder times coming?  Probably. Today is a good time to begin making your peace about what you will do.

During the Depression circa the 1930’s around one out of four American workers could not get jobs, or so I have been taught. Said another way, three out of four had jobs in this kind of situation. I suspect most had Families and Friends to help and support, too.

One out of four people not working is a big number to me. That percentage is large enough for me to have to think about things like the Golden Rule and soup kitchens, and what do I intend to do to help all, including myself and my Family and Friends. That idea applies both to now and in our future. I trust my own eyes and use my own judgment more than government reports, also.

I suspect we will “muddle through” the harder times I perceive are coming, and that in the end things will get better. Now any kind of “recovery” will take time, also. In the meantime, I still have to survive as best I can. The “Depression” took about a decade to recover from, and we had a world war to fight out, too. That war cost around 50+ million people’s lives, by the way.

So will we just kind of “slow down” economically, or will something else happen, like even precipitate some kind of collapse. Nobody knows! I sure don’t.

Am I now worried? Of course I am.

And I am not very religious, but I think I am becoming more so. More I think I am becoming more “Golden Rule” oriented.

The “mission” is to survive until things get better. Now how to make that happen is unknown to all right now.

Will many humans die along the way? Probably. What a shame if that guess is correct.

The process, in my opinion, has already started. In this scenario, the process will likely accelerate.

Will any effort and initiative you make help globally?  Probably not. Will any effort and initiative you make help locally and most often in your own community, probably yes.

Being a leader includes accountability. How willing are you to make your own mistakes along the way if you choose to be a leader, and then try to do it? That idea can apply to your own Family and Friends, or even at all other levels.

Will I survive the process? I don’t know. The question of survival is lower on my own priority list. Said another way, I will work to the best of my own ability to accomplish the mission until I can no longer do so. I have a Family and Friends, too.

And I understand even I can make mistakes along the way. Hopefully I will learn from any of my own mistakes, too. In this idea is a hope for humanity surviving, by the way.

So make your own peace while you can, I would suggest.
