Hope – You’ve got to have hope!

In life you have to have hope; you have to believe that things can get better and that there is a way forward.

That gives us something to work towards.

I have hope. That is why I write.

I believe we all add to the zeitgeist of the moment. We can alter the world with our unified psychic energy.

Some would see that as spiritual. I’m easy with that.

Here are my top hopes for the future:

  1. We realise that we are destroying the planet and stop (no more deforestation, poaching, slaughter of wild-life, pollution etc.)
  2. We limit the numbers of humans on the planet to a manageable number – about 3 billion is a sensible number (birth control, pensions, welfare and child mortality addressed)
  3. We wipe out ISIS and other pernicious, intolerant, barbaric fundamentalist religions.
  4. We put an end to war and use the United Nations (freed from control by the stronger nations) to bring peace and enforce its charter of human rights.
  5. We end inequality and ensure all people are equally valued.
  6. We value all living creatures and stop their ill-treatment.

OK – that will do for starters.

I’m an idealist. I’m an optimist. I believe that we have to work towards these things over time. They are aims to strive for.

I am a pragmatist. I realise that the juggernaut of the huge capitalist/religious power-base does not want these things.

But I believe there are millions of us who think like me. We have the internet and zeitgeist. It is up to us to create a better future.

There is hope! We have to work for it!

  1. Hope is the only answer – to all – even to you, Oph – and even though you are a disbeliefer. God bless you – you are contributing to me world – making it worthwhile just the more !

    1. I’m a believer Matt! I believe in making the world better! I believe in the power of love! I believe in writing! I believe in a zeitgeist! I even believe the world might exist.
      Thanks Matt! We do our best.

      2. Yes – that sums it up – a shared psychology of the times.
        You could feel it in the sixties – a real optimistic, positive vibe. That’s what we should aspire to.
