Those of us born during and after World War II have been very very fortunate

Why?

Because we have lived through the least wars and the most prosperity that the U.S. has ever seen. So, because of this we all have been extremely fortunate if you look at the history of the rest of the world.

During world War II for example, Europe and China and Russia and Japan were all completely devastated. Only really North and South America were relatively untouched as major countries in the world. And Canada and the U.S. had our infrastructures mostly intact which wasn't true in most developed countries after that war. So, this is why the U.S. was so successful (and Canada too) compared to most other nations simply because our infrastructure wasn't mostly destroyed through all the battles and bombings and fighting like other developed countries were in Europe and Russia and Asia.

So, living in America since World War II has been one of the greatest blessings ever for people who lived and grew up here.

However, we are presently dealing with something actually worse than World War II. 

We are now losing as many people as we did on 9-11 every 1 to 2 days now. This would have been unthinkable from ANY point of view in the past between World War II and now. 

By February 2021 we will likely have lost more people than we did in World War II to Coronavirus.

Think about that for a moment and consider how much our world here in the U.S. has changed!

And something like this is true for most countries on earth as well. 

The worldwide consequences for all of this are presently unfathomable to any human being during the next 50 or 100 years time.

Then when you add Global Warming to all of this and we likely are looking at incredible losses of life starting with Coronavirus but also lasting throughout this century.

This Century looks to be a Century of a lot of deaths that we didn't see since World War II at least like this.

So, learning to adapt to many people dying somewhat constantly throughout this century from various causes might be important for ongoing human survival here on earth.
