We certainly live in strange times.

My life and those of my loved ones goes pretty well. But I see issues in my social circle.

People realize their lifes suck.

They worked all week in a shitty job, just to go to a party, concert, or the cinema at the weekend.

They worked all year in a shitty job, just to have 2-4 weeks of holidays that were fun.

They were in relationships that only survived, because they were able to take some time without their partner.

Nobody in my social circle died of Corona, but a few people killed themselves or broke up with their partners of over ten years.

That showed me how thin the layer of "goodness" around many peoples life really is.
