These are strange times indeed.
Are we really seeing what is in front of us?
Are things as bad as they appear?
Is the negative dominating the positive?
Or are things exactly as they appear?
Look around you:
Abnormal social behavior.
Out of control abidance by the laws, expected human decency, personal manners and courtesies.
Increasing inability to decide what is real or fake.
News media presenting an invented, manipulated view of reality.
A financial system and stock markets performing against facts and figures that suggest otherwise.
Federal, state, local government corruption.
It's enough to wonder who is crazy, others or oneself.
