I appreciate this Robert Kennedy quote:

“There is a Chinese curse which says 'May he live in interesting times.' Like it or not we live in interesting times. They are times of danger and uncertainty; but they are also more open to the creative energy of men than any other time in history.”

It's the best of times

It has always been like that. Karma is a sine wave. Sinners and saints never bifurcate.

The time of the fulfillment of proverbs in upon us!

O tempora, o mores

I think we’ve always been living in interesting times. I’m sure people considered e.g. the cold war “interesting times” as well.
