What is new is that we now know so very much about the world, or at least the part of it that is most picturesquely exploding on any given day, that we're left with a desperate sense that all of it is exploding, all the time.

In her book "Small Wonder," Barbara Kingsolver reflects on the overwhelming amount of information we have access to regarding global events. This constant influx of news can create a distorted perception, making it seem as if chaos and turmoil are ubiquitous and relentless. The daily barrage of disturbing images and stories contributes to a collective anxiety about the state of the world.

Kingsolver suggests that this pervasive exposure can lead to a sense of despair. While it is beneficial to be informed, the challenge lies in discerning reality amidst the noise. The feeling that everything is in a state of crisis all the time can be paralyzing, but it's essential to maintain perspective and find ways to engage constructively with the issues that matter.
