SHEEEESH! As if things weren't bad enough... My kids (now 45 and 40) are going to have a rough world to live in. I don't know what to hope for, for myself.

A good life, and at the end of it a good death? (Yes, I know that sounds horribly morbid by the standards of my culture - but isn't that what we're all ultimately hoping for?)

For concerns beyond the self, improving the world in some minute way can be taken as a victory.
