There has never been a generation that didn't have folks believe this is the worst time in history and the end is near. I am going to spoil the ending, but we are not living in the worst of times. It isn't even close. Just take a look at 1910 - 1950 and you will count every blessing you have that you are living right now. Disease, War, Natural Catastrophes, Financial Catastrophes, genocide, the development and use of some of the most destructive weapons in the history of the world and all at a global scale.
Our biggest problem is that we have entire industries whose whole profit model is selling you on fear and anger. Grab a bottle of your favorite bourbon, turn on any news channel, and take a shot every time they report a story that is positive. You will probably never take the cap off the bottle. My advice to everyone is to stop spending time focused on the negative and instead get out there and enjoy this beautiful world that God gave us. To quote James 4:13-15:

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.”
