Life spiraling out of control...but not yours. All around you it seems the fabric that holds civic life together is crumbling. Yet, you sound determined, resolute.
The edge of what you describe intrudes in different parts of my country. Not where I live, I have the feeling, though, it is like a slow rot. If it exists somewhere, everywhere is threatened.
Here's hoping one day those walks on the beach will resume.
The boiling frog phenomenon was first presented by Olivier Clark, a writer and philosopher who used this metaphor to demonstrate that a human being put in certain conditions, even if they are uncomfortable, will slowly get used to them and stay within, not being able to get out.
Don't have to look over borders to realize this is happening everywhere, time to stand together in like minded thinking folk.
