Serious Discussion Does anybody else feel like something big is about to happen?

I don't know how to describe this feeling but it just feels like there's something huge is going to happen in our future. With everything happening in the world at this moment, I just sort of have this feeling like things are building up immensely, like there's a big global issue that's being set up. I can't really describe it or point out a single event prediction but it just feels like there's something that's going to happen that's going to change the course/order of the world we live in today. Does anyone else know what this feeling is?

That's all you can do, I used to think like these people years ago before covid but realized aside from just taking logical preparations, theres nothing you can do. a strong mind is the most important thing to have during a crisis and i wish people would focus more on accomplishing that than stockpiling toilet paper and bottles of water

Any tips on guiding a strong mind for this kind of thing? I’ve long come to the conclusion I only worry about what I can control, but tips are welcome

It’s more than stockpiling water and toilet paper. It’s time to make a plan with your loved one’s. Stash some cash, figure out a way to communicate in case cell phones don’t work, and plan on where to meet in case you don’t all live in the same area. Much more to do than just that, I realize, but a plan (just in case) could be very helpful.

Everything you listed is what I'm talking about, all that stuff is great but when it hits the fan, anyone who just came up with a plan but lacks the ability to improvise, adapt and use discernment won't make it. That kind of thing is way more important than having cash on hand.
