Hello:
Thanks for this post. It's very interesting.
I am going to sound dismissive but I believe that a lot of it has to do with "first world problems", that void.
Nowadays we have so much free time and that is the root of problems in my opinion. Thousands of years ago we were so preocupied with living, finding subsistence, water, that we really didn't have time for our AV's to show.
I am a very strange person. On the one hand I hate humans, I think that we are a pest, I see no hope in the future. On the other hand I feel so happy and positive with the life I have. I am by no means rich, but I do have everything I need and then some.
I feel we all need to find that meaning that we long for and for me is to live in the now. I don't take anything for granted and I enjoy every second I get.
Now, "FWP" are real, however when I have one I try to get perspective but I realize that I make them bigger than we they really are...
I do believe in a higher power that resides in me.
