you fear the continuation of those things, when actually anything is possible.
what we are on the cusp of, i feel, is that realization. for too long people have expected what has happened. the world has been caught in a cycle of war, death, and inequity. it's time to break that cycle, and we did it symbolically by electing a black man president. i believe that, soon, the gesture will move beyond symbolism. and it's not that i like to keep an optimistic outlook, it's that i see absolutely nothing to refute my optimistic outlook. because yeah, war is happening. death is happening. hunger is happening. but that doesn't mean those things must continue happening or that there is no solution for the people to whom they are happening. you say the people who can solve them are corrupt and anti-human? why think they are able, but not those who suffer through it? that's what we're on the cusp of man, empowerment. and it's about fucking time.
