Because the lowest wrung of Maslow’s Hierarchy containing food, heat & shelter has become unobtainable to us.
Because the doomsdayers about global warming were right and no one listened until now when it’s too late.
Because the difficulty in just taking care of ourselves has risen to the point that we haven’t the energy or the willpower to take care of one another.

My personal life is fine but I see how we keep destroying our environment, how we keep torturing billions of animals every year while we can easily do without and how the extreme right is gaining power even in Germany. This makes me unhappy.
The information age is part of the problem. Knowing about everything that’s wrong with the world doesn’t make you happy. People were happier when they didn’t know the slavery and environmental destruction that were necessary for their daily dose of coffee.
