Cynicism

Mine, mostly, but it's a common thread, as far as I can see. The latest 'Extinction Rebellion' protests has been the catalyst for my ire - I’m sure many of the protesters are sincere, want to change the world, and all that, but I'm equally sure that there are a cadre of professional malcontents who just want to destroy society for the sake of it, and, worse, those who have ulterior motives, hoping to be the new 'High' (as in Goldstein's book in 1984). I'm sufficiently old and ill to not worry about the world too much these days, but if I was still vigorous enough to care, I'd like to think that I'd rather be part of the solution than a mere slogan-waving 'rent-a-mob' participant.

Love & best wishes to all
