The Future Looks Bright
Ten Reasons to be Optimistic About Humanity
by Sarah May Bates
In the modern battle of good vs. evil, I’m betting on good. Why, because it’s easy to think the world is terrible when terrible things are being talked about everywhere, but perspective is everything and there have been amazing changes in our lifetime that make me proud to be a human. As a generation born of technology, we more often dispell the manipulations of power and deciding things collectively based on right or wrong. The access to each other has allowed us to say in a big loud voice how we feel about things, and unlike ancient Rome, our generation is voting for good. We are all the little guy and we can all continue to win. I see a victory in our future: Good 10, evil zip.
