Like IchbinkeinTeufel said, violence is absolutely relevant. Is there more of it than in the past? I'm not sure. I do know that social media gives us instant access to violence which increases the sense that the world is more violent.

Venuss, thank you for a first hand view of what is happening in Europe.

Back in my teens and 20s I believed it was my personal responsibility to end strife in the world. Yeah, I'm now aware that is not rational. As you can imagine it caused me all sorts of distress that I was not able to do this. For my own peace of mind and sanity I now focus on the small part of the world I actually come in contact with. My hope is that it will spread in ripples outward.
