Hard times ahead

--

History moves in cycles (or a helix shape) propelled by the often quoted dynamic:

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men and weak men create hard times” (please use “women” interchangeably).

An increasing number of observers seem to believe that we’re at the end of this cycle, the fourth turning i.e. about to enter hard times.

If you want to stretch to see the silver lining in this dire outlook: there may be opportunities for acts of true heroism ahead of us. To birth the next generation of “strong (wo)men”.

Cole Thomas’ “Destruction” (part of “The Course of Empire” series) (1836)
