Briefly, Some Perspective

Right now, it can seem like the whole world is coming undone. Between killer viruses, despotic leaders, a questionable economy and a climate on tilt it can be hard to stay optimistic about the future.

We're not in a different place than we are usually. Humans have always existed on the precipice of disaster. It's just that usually we don't notice the danger. We only notice it when life thrusts it into stark relief, like right now.

But for all of this, we have two eventualities - move forward or destroy ourselves.
So far, despite our best efforts, we have yet to destroy ourselves.
Instead, we struggle, we rise, and then we do it all over again.
The odds are with humanity. I wouldn't bet against us.
