Is Uncertainty The New Certainty?

Right now the world seems like it is more unstable and uncertain than it ever has been before. 4 decades ago, the world was extremely unstable and uncertain and you had a host of geopolitical issues back in the early ‘70’s that were dramatic.  You had Nixon and Watergate, Viet Nam, you had the oil embargo, Roe v Wade, the creation of OSHA and the EPA, you had mass murders and mass killings at Kent State and also the Houston Mass Murders. All of this stuff was happening in the early 70’s the only difference between then and now is that now its in our faces around the clock with the 24 hour cable news cycle we can’t escape this information and its coming at us from all
directions. So, if you think about it, the world only seems more unstable and uncertain when in fact it isn’t any more so than it was 4 decades ago. Recognizing this and pointing this out to my clients is something I do to help
them.
