Like a house of cards?
I have been wondering about this topic. It seems to me that most people's lives including my own may appear solid when looking at them superficially from the outside. But if you really think about it I feel that most people's lives are but a few small setbacks away from total collapse.
The Exact same can be said for the world we live in - Its thin ice were living on & getting thinner by the day.
Society would crumble very quickly without Say Electricity/ Fuel for 4-6 weeks there'd be pandemonium
Going on - People killing each other to eat & survive.
Why would most peoples lives be much different - its a fragile balance.
