For all those who may be wringing your hands on what you see happening in the world around us, I would have you reference the Hindu cycle of Yugas. Without getting into an incredibly complex and esoteric discussion of cosmology, there four Yugas or Cosmic Ages. Each age has its own characteristics, We have just entered Kali Yuga.
Bad News - Kali Yuga is the WORST cosmic age. All sense of honor and thought of others and the whole go out the window. Basically it is the Shit Yuga.
Good News - Kali Yuga is the shortest of the four Yugas
Bad News - Kali Yuga will still last 432,000 years
Good News - It started in 3102 BCE, we are actually in the very beginning of Kali Yuga. So you, I and all our children will be long gone before the shit really hits the fan.
Bad News - Kali Yuga still sucks, even at this early stage
Good News - It is WAY easier to achieve enlightenment and grace in Kali Yuga because the standards have dropped so low. So just keep being a good person.

The Hindus certainly can think on a timescale that I can't.
I believe you've been saying this for a while, but now feels like a right time too
