Perhaps it’s something in the zeitgeist, a sense of impending doom which permeates many of our unspoken thoughts, especially in the millennial generation. Nothing in the world really helps these nihilistic thoughts; the last two years particularly with the global shutdown, ever-present spectre of death, even more economic instability and inequality and the sense of the ground beneath us slowly but constantly shaking, uprooting any foundation we hope to set.
Hopelessness is the elephant in the room. The reason nobody buys into hope anymore is due to experience., but a quote has stuck with me through the years which captures human determination in a nutshell: “The good thing about hope is that once you’ve lost all of it, there is still some more to be found.”
There shouldn’t be any more, but despite ourselves there can be. To be hopeful is to be courageous, even though sometimes being hopeful is being delusional. The alternative won’t birth any change so for the sake of us all…we should probably hope (and do) for the better.
