It surprised me - but should it have?

At the Presbytery's leadership training day (actually quite a nice idea: lots of workshops offered in one location for a low cost, an especially great resource for smaller churches) I attended one workshop on children's ministry.

The workshop leader asked the 30 or so of us in the room to supply words that described "the world we see around us." Other than "technology" which is pretty neutral, literally every other word people suggested was negative: chaotic, violence, lack of sleep, stress, and many others.

Do we really live in that much fear? Is the world around us really that frightening?
