Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

The 90's were full of hope, right up until the Y2K panic, then 911, and then it was all over, and we haven't recovered since
Yeah, literally right below this post was a headline about the arctic crumbling.
I believe that a better world is possible, but I don't believe it's going to happen. Thinking otherwise just seems naive.
And taking action, even if it's futile, seems better than just passively holding a delusional belief.
