I have also noticed that each year is somehow worse than previous. Last years we had covid, war, economic instability. However, each year I manage to achieve or get more than previous year. That is a huge paradox to me. I've got a new job, a raise, new car and other expensive things. I also notice that my friends are also getting new and expensive things, travel more. While things should be opposite, with all that closed borders and inflation.

2022 is the worst year we had, especially when the Ber months entered, it's very heavy for us. Even those family that is doing fine in my area is struggling. I wonder if the war didn't happen, will the situation be different? 2022 is supposed to be a recovery year but the opposite happened. Or, we may be in a not better situation compared to before covid but at least not this worst.
War and pandemic, if these didn't happen for sure most of us have the same beautiful year ending for 2022. But it's not, the prices for most things have increased, thanks to the inflation which is the result of those two.

But anyway, just like the peak.

These lows won't remain for so long and things are going to be light and calm again and that's what we should seek despite the years weren't too good for most.

If you look closely you would understand as development keep growing the more we face and experience lots of changes in the world. Personally since I was born I have never experienced or witness anything like covid-19 or economic meltdown but just of few years now things has drastically changed, government aren't really helping out  coupled with the decreasing of  unemployment rate going worster every year.  What you should do is to get something doing maybe you won't feel it that much whenever you are occupied you may not come to think of how things are going on with you rather thinking of how to make progress. Every year has there phases of climate change and occurrences so one really needs to be prepared.
As every year comes with challenges and struggles, and if you fail most of them, you will most likely feel like the world is against you because all you got are mistakes and failures. But that doesn’t mean that each passing year is getting worser, maybe you are just currently affected with all those negative events happening around but always remember, there’s always a rainbow after every storm so never lost hope and stay on positivity. Always know that those who became successful today have also experienced failures at first, but they chose to move forward and learn and improve their crafts until they succeed.

OP, what did you expect will happen when you have a continued global population explosion and also the environmental impact of industries that are growing to provide enough food and consumer goods to those people? We have increased pollution and global warming that are having severe influences on the weather.

This will continue until we destroy our own planet..... or it will decrease when we realize that we are killing our only source of survival. (Many species will die, before things will go better....and that includes human lives)  Angry

It's true that since the time the pandemic hit us it seems the unfortunate happenings never stop. As you have mentioned many worse things happened that affect everyone of us regardless of our status in life.

For me, after covid pandemic, the rest next to it is already manageable because covid is the worst. Imagine we can't work, we're restricted to go outside because of the fear to get infected but still many people lost their lives. Good for you if you have food to eat at home but we know people from low class experienced hunger resulting for them to become sick yet unable to go to the hospital because of the covid cases patients, not to mention the expenses. But despite of all that happened and the current situation we are in, still we're able to survive and still doing fine, it's something to be thankful for.

In the past few years, the economies of our countries were still very good, and everything was developing in a good direction. However, in recent years, due to many reasons, the economies of various countries around the world have declined. Everyone is predicting that the economy will grow in 2024. I think that this year, the governments of various countries may rescue the economy according to the situation of each country. In this case, we should maintain a good attitude. Make your own plan. Hope spring will come soon.

World is facing the worst economic situation. In this situation it is a must to stay positive, only then it is possible to stay strong and make ourselves progressive amidst the prevailing situation. Life won't be the same all the time. At times we need to be very active and keep ourselves challenging than just enjoying the feel of being lonely and missing out.
Even though we are too positive but we can't stop ourselves from thinking about what will happen to the next generations, and to the future of our children if the situation is getting worse. Worries sometimes will appear in my mind and I think about how they can survive in the future when the government will never make a solution to the current situation because what I see is that they are making only short-term solutions.
In my case, there are really times which you would be thinking about the future of your children or even your grandsons considering that economical problems seems to get worst but instead on freaking out and just let
yourself idle, it would be more ideal if you do find up ways on how to make more income because no matter how bad the economy would be in speaking with inflation and recessions on which you could really be that confident that on the inheritance that you have given would really be that sufficient for them to survive these given circumstances which this is what im trying out to achieve as long as im alive.
We cant really bring all the money that we worked hard but look at on the ones who would really be benefiting it.

I don't know how to describe this emotion, but every year that passes seems progressively worse than the previous one in a variety of ways. The last few years seem to be going downhill, with something unpleasant occurring every single year. In 2020 and 2021, we suffered enough with Covid-19, in 2022, we thought that we'd possibly get a break, but nope, the war started on February, which was followed by excessive inflation and an economic recession.

We're now entering 2023, and things aren't looking any better. Inflation keeps worsening, energy and oil prices are extremely volatile, while in our case in Greece and Italy, despite MWH being the cheapest it has been since the invasion, we're holding the record for the most expensive energy prices.

On top of that, a few days before 2023, half of the U.S.A. is suffering a terrible blizzard, with temperatures even reaching as low as -50C. Climate change is real, and it's only going to get worse in the following years.

I'm not sure if everything has gone downhill in the past few years or if I'm overexaggerating and making it sound worse than it really is. Perhaps my sitting all alone in my bed on New Year's Eve isn't helping.

Anyway, happy new year to everyone and good luck on your bitcoin endeavors!

You have to stay optimistic in life, there is no point dwelling on the bad times and living in squalid memories. There are plenty of good things happening every year and it is only by everyone trying their best that we can make the world a better place. Humanity has made all sorts of massive and impressive leaps throughout history, you should expect it to continue. We have never been closer to things like curing cancer, we managed to turn around a vaccine within a year that was able to protect people from a deadly virus, we're moving faster towards renewable energy, more people are going on a lower meat diet and all sorts of other great achievements.

Fall of an empire. The west has been transitioning from a meritocracy to... not a meritocracy for quite some time now. Of course standards of living will be worsened.

The world is going down the drain, everything is going from bad to worse. Economic melt down, inflation and recession, war and femine, unemployment, Covid-19, crypto related loses like Luna and FTX.
This is 2023 and Bitcoin chart is not showing any good thing about the year. Who knows it could be worse than 2022.
The price of goods double and triple within weeks and months and nobody is saying anything.
Does it mean that the government is clueless?
The coronavirus pandemic has been going on for four years now and continues to mutate, having a negative impact on the economy of absolutely all states. The situation is also exacerbated by a big war in Europe caused by a military attack on Ukraine. But the world will survive it anyway, will be updated and will develop further. So it's not all that bad. You just need to go through this difficult stage. Aggressive Russia will be defeated and will no longer exert its former influence on world politics. And the crypto winter won't last forever.

Perhaps my sitting all alone in my bed on New Year's Eve isn't helping.
Actually I think that is the main point... Problems, crisis, climate changes and conflicts have always been present in a global level every years, but we tend to over-absorb all these negative news when we are in a bad mood and discontented with our own lives, especially during Christmas and New Year, when it should be the happiest moment of the year, to be shared with people we love reciprocally.

Agree. All negatives will be magnified especially when we are not in the mood. The problems OP addressed are broad and exist in almost every country which is a macro environment or condition but how we deal with these problems is a very personal issue. We might get lucky to be less affected by the macro environment or may be miserable to make a living with a pretty perssimistic outlook. I guess we just need to stand up and clear that fear/anixety and concentrate on our daily life.

Anyway, happy new year to everyone and good luck on your bitcoin endeavors!
Happy New Year to you as well! That 2023 may be different in a personal level, because the problems of the world aren't solvable!

The world problems will never be resolved. We have to live with most of them.

We must stay positive and work hard and save as much as we could!
I am not sure about other - but this year I aim to save as much as I could - this is the biggest goal of my life.

I don’t reckon with what you just said, let’s be truthful 2020 was was than 2021, 2020 saw the peak of the covid 19 virus and saw the shut down of countries personally it was my first time of ever witnessing, a total and complete shutdown of countries.

The fact remains that 2020 was worse that the recents year we have had after it and even before it. Also in crypto-Currency we saw an all Time high in bitcoin and so many other coins.
But the fact is, in 2022 many people lost their jobs and prices of everything is going up while there is no increase in salary or in worsen they don't have any job to afford anything. In 2020 government provided money whereas in 2022 they act like nothing is happening and focusing on development while millions of people are living their daily life in extreme hard situation.
Well, the biggest difference is that in 2022 people were left to handle their own business which caused a lot of poverty that's true but it also put everything back on the rail. If governments kept on helping people then we would never recover, but if you let people handle their own problems then it eventually has to be fixed or it would be chaos. Like companies can't just fire everyone, if they all fire people then there won't be any customers left neither.

If nike and adidas and reebok all fired their workers, who would buy their shoe? Think about it bigger now, if ALL companies fired even 10% of their workforce, that means a lot less customers for them.
both the points mentioned above are correct. People lost their jobs and people started their own small business. I am to one of that - who lost the job and started running my own business.
It was not easy starting a business at zero investment - but I didn't give up and after one year I am in a better mental and financial position.

perseverance is needed in every endeavour we want to take. if you will just rely from other people's help, i don't think you will achieve on what you have today. some will easily give up and not continue what they started. but once you pursue your goals or missions in life, and overcome those bottlenecks, you will feel proud of yourself for not backing out from those challenges. each one of us can do better if we want to, so it is truly on us how we will live this life to the fullest.

It is obvious that liberal economies are destined to be ruled by companies and that is what we are living right now. We can't have a government that is like a dictatorship and decides everything, and we can't have a government that doesn't meddle anything and companies make tens of billions of dollars in profit while people suffer. We need to find something in the middle and that is usually not that common and can't be found at all right now in the world.

As long as we let the world run like this and change nothing then we are not going to end up with anything good at all. We need to fix something before we expect it to get any better, and we are not fixing it right now.
[/quotes]
That's the thing. there are some thing in the world that we don't want to happen but then we don't have the right to change it or when we able to change it, we will going to face another problem. We should not let ourselves to be consumed by things and get anxious too much about things that we don't control, we should learn to control our own emotions.
