Feel overwhelmed?

"The world is too big for us. Too much is going on, too many crimes, too
much violence and excitement. Try as you will, you get behind in the race
in spite of yourself. It is an incessant strain to keep pace and still
you lose ground. Science empties its discoveries on you so fast, you
stagger beneath them in hopeless bewilderment. The political world's
news is changing so fast that you're out of breath trying to keep pace
with who's in and who's out. Everything is high pressure. Human nature
can't endure much more."

— Atlantic Journal, June 16, 1833
