When the World Feels Like It's Falling Apart
Have you ever felt like you're screaming into the void while everyone around you does the same? A Green Beret lands in an Afghan village in 2010. Buildings riddled with bullet holes. Empty marketplace. Villagers stare with vacant eyes, silently wishing he'd leave. By day, American forces view them with suspicion and conduct night raids. By night, Taliban fighters leave threatening letters and public beatings for anyone who cooperates with Americans. These villagers are trapped in what's called "the Churn"-caught between opposing forces, unable to trust anyone, just trying to survive. Now think about your own life. A thirty-year friendship ends over a Facebook post about masks. Company executives scroll their phones during presentations, attention spans shrinking from two and a half minutes in 2004 to forty-seven seconds today. Sixty-eight percent of employees feel disengaged at work. Seventy-five percent of Americans have lost trust in their government, and 68 percent have lost trust in each other. We're living in our own version of the Churn-distracted, disengaged, disconnected, and distrustful. The enemy isn't other people. It's the system that keeps us isolated, reactive, and afraid. But there's a way out, and it starts with understanding what makes us fundamentally human.
