I don't ever want to cloud the air around my optimism.I hold firm that generally speaking the human condition has improved as time goes on and will continue to do so. which is currently in opposition with the general sentiment. Everything is broken or falling apart and if it isn't opiods, climate change, AI, the it'll be an asteroid or our sun friend. Well as our sun negativity is on fire and now that the internet is at scale its spreading as you'd expect. The fact that i'm able to communicate this is a testament to the ease of utilizing this interconnecting internet infrastructure. Now there are injustices and reasons you might want to catch the concrete with your face. Well i'm most certainly not immune to such thoughts. Even though i hold firm that things are generally improving with time, that doesn't mean it isn't easy to slip into some despair. Even if things were improving at a drastically increased rate you, would still have to make a judgement / a value call and the reality you perceive will be the one you live in . With all that in hand i have to constantly remind myself that i'm looking through a lense and whilst it's cracked and dirty i'm grateful to be able to look. So much so that even if this was it, then wow what an eyeful. I have to appreciate that i can keep looking even if sometimes i close my eyes. As thought contributor, i'd like to point out that; i know that you know there is something you could give an acknowledging nod to or at the very least thees something that could further deteriorate e but hasn't. Even being in a position to be able to die is a W.
