I've definitely felt like I'm in the stages of grief. This feels accurate. We're collectively facing our own mortality, in the way that everyone who lives long enough must eventually. And just like that personal mortality, the future is unknown. Our world could end next year, or in a hundred years. I can't save myself or my family any more than I can stop them getting a fatal disease or being hit by a truck. All we can do is spend all the time we've got together, and hope it's longer rather than shorter.
I hope that doesn't sound too morbid. It's a good philosophy to live by regardless of whether or not the end is nigh.
To put it another way, the world is going to end in our lifetimes. And that's ok. Because the world ends for everybody, at the end of their life.
