Across the globe, an unsettling wave of resignation and defeatism is taking hold, evoking memories of the classic English musical Stop the World—I Want to Get Off.
In this poignant production, the main character grapples with a series of seemingly insurmountable challenges, crises, and setbacks. At his lowest moments, he halts in despair, uttering the haunting refrain, “Stop the world, I want to get off.”
This sense of helplessness resonates all too clearly today, as many feel overwhelmed by the unpredictability of life and the burdens of modernity.
