I do! Humanity is in the 'serious growing pains' portion of our species life cycle. we still have a lot of hardships and global catastrophes to endure but the divine love in us and our limitless potential will win out over our animalistic tendencies for dominance, control, and self destruction.
Its easy to focus on the world news' never ending head turning tragedies. It sells headlines and gives angsty people something to feed their need for negativity. Whats not as easy to focus on is all the countless little kindnesses, acts of selfless mercy, and genuine efforts of self improvement that also happen every day. and dare I say much more frequently.
I think that people are a little bit too self pitying and doomerist especially on the internet. Quick to bitch and whine about everything wrong with society and their personal lives, slow to mention all the little blessings and convinences they take for granted in daily life. I consider just being alive and getting to experience stuff a big blessing even if a portion of it is unpleasantly traumatic.
