“The optimists among us
taking heart because it is spring
skip along
attending their meetings
signing their e-mail petitions
marching with their satiric signs
singing their we shall overcome songs
posting their pungent twitters and blogs
believing in a better world
for no good reason
I envy them
said the old woman…”
I think a lot of us need a bit of optimism right now, especially if, like me, you keep getting sucked into the uspol disaster whirlpool, and getting demoralised by the state of thing.

Let's allow this little bit of optimism to motivate ourselves in continuing doing what we manage to, and who knows, even ramping it up.

Well some good news for a change. People are generally kind, and even if it took Covid to remind us all, we continue to try to do the best for our communities.
When did you first start worrying for humankind?

My latest post combines the very profound with the ridiculously mundane, in a manner that may prove jarring.
What's one of the most important factors for a successful balcony garden? Optimism! 
Its Friday, Robert Reich, give me something to be optimistic about in this disgusting right-wing world today https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-reasons-for-moderate-optimism #uspoli #optimism
Please, #Elon. Go to Mars as soon as possible, and take your friends with you.

#Authority forms a stair of human beings. You #climb it more or less throughout your #life. A few go down or fall. What's at the top? Does anyone want to get there?
Reference: “Stairway to Heaven” Led Zeppelin
Many climb it with #anxiety, a few reluctantly or commit #suicide
Usually, those at the #bottom are peaceful, those at the #top are angry
Wow, I think this is not funny
One goes to a #guesser. She reaches the street, finds the hallway, goes up the stairs, ding-dong. And a voice is heard from inside: “Who is it?!” And she says: “What a shitty guesser”
What is happening in the world has been prophesied (#guessed) many times.

Have you noticed that animals never look at the sky?
They don't have the intelligence to rationalize that and prefer not to know about the existence of the Sun. They just live and love life
We look at the sky, and we have come to understand everything (well, we have the matter solved), and we find that we cannot understand. Damn, let's live and love life. After all, like animals, we have always understood

Curious. Einstein's equations of relativity show that time begins at the Big Bang. So before the Big Bang there was no time… No, no. This doesn't make sense, it does not exist before the Big Bang. Hell, it can't even be expressed.
Can anyone conceive that there is no time?
Yes, there's #hope #optimism #positivity #progress #cohesion #inclusion #diversity

The future is not bleak. The left can not afford such an outlook. We've already known the path that #capitalism and its highest form would take. Our analysis has shown this. Use this time to strengthen and train your #revolutionary #optimism and reaffirm your convictions.
This resonated with me today. I'm going to do my best to make those around me and those I'm connected to (that's you!) a little bit happier, despite *gestures wildly in all directions*! We can do this! #optimism #yougotthis

Ja, fast jeder kennt das Buch bereits, dennoch möchte ich es nochmal explizit empfehlen. Ich brauche gerade ein Gift gegen all die schlechten Nachrichten. Wer ähnlich fühlt, ist mit dieser Lektüre genau richtig!
The Bright Side: Why Optimists Have the Power to Change the World by Sumit Paul-Choudhury, 2024
The Bright Side makes a vital and transformative new argument: that optimism is not only the natural state of humanity, but an essential one. Without optimism we would never have survived the unpredictable – and often hostile – world we evolved into.
