This is a reminder we all need in these dark times.

Unfortunately if you carefully unpack what the article says, it's not saying that you'll never have a present moment where all hope seems lost and everything that's good seems destroyed. That it won't hurt you. Only that hatred and greed and evil are not sustainable strategies.

There was no hope for the people of Poland who were herded into ditches and machine-gunned to death in the runup to WW2. But the "thousand year Reich" was a bullshit idea that lasted a mere dozen years or so, before collapsing in ignominy and infamy and utter defeat. The tragedy of course is the millions who died in the process.

I take comfort in being on the right side of history, and believe that the Greta Thunbergs and AOCs and Mayor Petes and Bernie Sanders of the world will prevail ultimately.
