We are in "The Age of Transformation", but do you know what we are transforming into?
Some may say we are in a "new gilded age", while others say we are in an "age of stupidity". But we are transforming into something new, something not yet known.
This is why things feel unstable, chaotic even. Because change is chaotic and unstable. It is undefined until we define it. And we define it by defining ourselves. Some of us define ourselves by our money, influence, education, power, privilege and status. While others define themselves by poverty, subjection, ignorance, struggle, loss, and being a number on a piece of paper instead of viewed as an individual person.
It can be hard to look in the mirror, to see who we are. Because society can demand perfection, but we are far from perfect. We are human. Defining this "imperfect human" feels odd, but this will pass. Define not what you want to be, define who you are.
Charitable/Greedy
Angry/Loving
Selfless/Selfish
Hateful/Tolerant
We can define who we are. We can define this moment. We can Transform any movement toward the future.
