Every 80 years or so it seems like the evil in this world almost wins just to be knocked back down by some good force. That alone allows me to look forward to the good that will hopefully reveal itself soon.

The reason you see it every 80 years is because each generation is about 20 years. The Greatest Generation fought the great crisis of their day, and then they sheltered the Silent Generation, resulting in a period of peace and safety and relative wealth. The Baby Boomers were born, bringing their "spiritual awakening" (unfortunately a negative one), leading to the following generations in decline and degeneration, which led us back around to the CRISIS part of the cycle where we are today.
