This is a really insightful post. When viewed in this way there are two interpretations:
1) The world is a scary place full of insecurity and instability
2) The world is wide open and full of opportunity to those who have the flexibility to survive
Eitherway I don't think that there's any doubt that massive change is upon us, and many older structures and ways of thinking are being replaced.
I'm thankful that my parents are old enough to be unaffected by it and that I'm young enough to be equipped to deal with it. Some others aren't so lucky.
