Februay the 1st, 2012

Or is it that everyone is now so angry? Everyone is now so fearful?
Look at what’s happening with the bankers. Not that I’m going to sit here and defend Fred Goodwin, but the public mood isn’t one of disapproval, it appears to be more akin to rage. The same thing happened in the football over the weekend. Yes racism is an incredibly serious issue that shouldn’t really be dealt with through the prism of club rivalry, but for it to be so viscerally vitriolic was just incredible. There just seems to be so much anger, so much sheer fury, everywhere right now.

Why is that? A sense of helplessness at the way the world has gone, or is a fear as to what is coming? Is there a sixth sense that everybody is feeling – and because most people can’t understand it – anger is the only emotion that can be expressed?

Is it possible that I’m not the only one who suffers a form of these dreams? Are thousand –  if not millions – of people enduring them, or something like them? Are we all so angry and scared because we appreciate at a certain level that is something wrong, and it’s coming fast towards us?
