For all of my lifetime I have lived in peace, although until 1989 we lived under the shadow of nuclear war.
These days I sense evil is abroad. Russia has invaded Ukraine. Israel has hit Gaza hard in response to the Hamas attack of October 7th. China is threatening Taiwan where I have been twice. In many countries there is a move to the right. There is every possibility of Mr Trump being the leader of the USA for the next 4 years.
The world seems more unstable than at any time I can remember, perhaps with the exception of the 1962 Cuba crisis.
Western democracy is far from perfect. Unhindered capitalism has many faults. What I hope is that across the world a fairer society emerges.
