When the world feels like it’s falling apart, where do we find meaning?

As crises stack up globally, the answer may lie not in control, but in how we choose to respond.

I recently overheard two men—presumably friends—venting about their struggles. They spoke about everyday frustrations, the weather, and more specifically, the state of the country. To them, everything felt like it was falling apart. It wasn’t what it used to be ten years ago. They listed reason after reason for why things were getting worse.
