In reply to Diana and anyone else who cares. . .
Why am I optimistic?
I am an older guy.
My wife and I have walked on the surface of every U.S. state, most of the provinces of Canada, and some 20 other countries.
I have experienced many other people. My experiences tell me that “good” actions outweigh “bad” perhaps ten to one.
So why does it seem that there is so much “yuck?”
I think it is because those who are service-to-self oriented tend to strive for positions of power so that they can better use their power to serve themselves, and as a result often find themselves in the upper society positions. So they are in the news. The news media thinks “yuck” sells, so they focus more on “yuck” in their reporting.
Yes, I am optimistic about where Earth is headed and its people. Don’t give up! Live your life as a contribution toward the positive.
