I don’t mean to diminish people’s fears and anxieties because they are extremely real, but I think it’s worth considering other outlooks. For example, look at how quickly the world changed in March 2020 in response to COVID-19. Isn’t there something hopeful about that? Doesn’t it suggest that the world can adapt to sudden change far more quickly than we expected?
Sometimes I wonder if some people are too apocalyptic in their ideas especially if they come from a product in an apocalyptic Christian background. if you look at thousands of years of European history isn’t the lesson to take away that revolution and change happen all the time, but eventually, progress is what people settle into and things work out in the end.
I realize that is the most hopeful interpretation of events, and perhaps too hopeful, but I’m optimistically natured and that’s what I try to stick to.
