How is your life? How is your family, your children, how are they doing in school? How are you doing financially? Are you struggling, under pressure or stress? Do you understand what is going on in the world around you? Are you happy?

Most people are concerned primarily with maintaining their place within the societal structure, within the scheme of things, as they can perceive it. Because they are focused only on what they perceive is important in their own daily lives, there are many who do not understand what is happening in the world and so they don't pay much attention to it. Many of the things that take place in the world might not seem to affect them. These things may not seem to have a lot of relevance to that which they need to do, in order to get on in life. Many do not acknowledge that events taking place in the world, the things they read in newspapers and in news reports on radio and TV, actually have a direct affect on their daily lives.
