I say, No!
I'd rather live in truly calm times.
Well, except for ribaldry, wild laughter, running through piney woods, warm hugs, love, loping barefoot in the sand, galloping on a fine steed, reading an exquisitely written book, dancing, hearing great music, seeing live theater and transformative films, traveling to foreign lands, meeting more new people, hearing new hopes, dreams and tales, seeing acts of loving kindness to animals, the planet and our fellow humans.
Except for those things, and to enable those things, I'd rather have calm times.
Not "calm before the storm" times.

For the record, before what looks like an inevitable nuclear war descends upon us.
