Hope springs eternal

Assuming humans still influence the world, then you can hope.

Now most don’t believe 90% of what they hear (or read), and only 50% of what they see.

Now the way I was taught in the USA was that there is normally only one real reason, and many good reasons. That idea seems to work still. It is so human. And call it marketing, or propaganda, or anything else, most of us use a jaundiced eye in our own decisions about our future, and our family’s futures.

And we live under so many governments, and some are better than others. But even then there is a common bond, hope.

So this is, as always, an interesting time in human history. Mostly, the genies have been unleashed as to human evolution. The bad news is that we still have to live, as in stay warm and eat. I guess I should be pleased that the genies have been unleashed. The downside is what happens. After all, people still have to live, and be happy.

By the way, for some good news, I define happiness as good health and self respect. This idea accommodates the obvious friction between men and women, for example.

Along the way, this 62 year old male recognizes that the nation state idea is some western idea from the 19th century. Some humans have other opinions about how they will be ruled. And there are so many alternatives.

Anyway, hope springs eternal.
