Nonspecific Terror

 I have had a variety of mental problems, and this has been one of the worst. I knew something was wrong, and badly wrong, bur I didn't know what it was. It didn't just feel mental, but also physical.  

Our modern lifestyle has something to do with it. We are demanding too much of our bodies and minds, and they get badly out of kilter. 

Like many other people, I have been attracted to the Computer and its Software. And I have written about this a lot. This began in the Eighties and Nineties, and with the arrival of the Internet, it went crazy, and produced a boom, and then a bust. 

It is now beginning to settle down, and become more humane, but this has taken awhile (about forty years, in fact). And meanwhile, most people have become completely confused and irresponsible. 

We should be screaming "All this is too much!" But we have gone crazy instead, and are incapable of realizing this craziness. How could we understand something that has never happened to us before? 

We can criticize Trump easily enough, but not the people who elected him (most of the nation). This would be a big job, one that we do not want to tackle.
