Thank you both for your wonderful writing and thoughts. Now in my late seventies and with 10 grandchldren I still appreciate the beauty of this world. I realised 60 years years ago that we were being lied to. I have found "joy" in fighting authoritarians all my life and following the golden rule. Evolution is an on-going process so I am sure the time of empire and corrupt capitalism will cannibalise itself. I might not be here to see it. However, I am sure one of my off-spring will. That is reason for optimism.
Hello Caitlin and Tim,
Thank you both for your wonderful writing and thoughts. Now in my late seventies and with 10 grandchldren I still appreciate the beauty of this world. I realised 60 years years ago that we were being lied to. I have found "joy" in fighting authoritarians all my life and following the golden rule. Evolution is an on-going process so I am sure the time of empire and corrupt capitalism will cannibalise itself. I might not be here to see it. However, I am sure one of my off-spring will. That is reason for optimism.
Good on you. I feel the same, we must act - action, speaking, and passing the baton to those who see us as role models. Giving up makes them give up.
