Booming or Busting?

Those of us fortunate to have been born in the post WW2 "developed world"- we've benefitted from exponential growth in technology, healthcare, wealth, communications, entertainment, leisure. 'Let the good times roll'!

Is it all coming to an end? Financial uncertainty, looming old age, new generations coming to the fore who don't share our values or aspirations - or afford us the respect or gratitude for bequeathing them the world they're now putting their own stamp upon? Are we a 'busted flush'?

What does it take to ensure in our final trimester we enrich ourselves, the wider world, and the upcoming generation? Are we so full of our own self-awareness / self-importance that it matters? Should we make the effort?

Not all of us are ready or willing to put our feet up just yet
