Looking around me:

  • I started seeing people who support capitalist companies instead of non-profits.
  • People losing their freedoms everywhere at high pace.
  • No one is taking any serious steps to stop climate change.
  • A lot of non-profits had seriously down scaled their operations in the last 5 years, most probably more non-profits will get hit hard this year.
  • On a relative scale, no one is fighting to change any of this.

Do we have any hope?

    Exactly. The man saw horrors we pray the world would never see again, and still somehow, he came home and finished one of the greatest legends ever told about the indomitable power of fellowship, hope, goodness, and love, against the machinations of ever-hungrier evil and darkness.

    He faced the abyss and found light where others would have emerged only with cynical disillusionment and despair.

    He fought for a belief that there was still good in people. He wrote the story about those who wanted to turn back and lose hope only they didn’t.

    Those are the stories that really stick with us.

    I’m with you. People can be… Yeah, I can’t really top:

    willfully ignorant assholes sometimes

    …But we can be the light even they can’t ignore.
