Probably the reason I rewatch so much Star Trek. I love seeing what humanity is capable of.

(Yes, I still read/watch dystopic and apocalyptic stories, but I’ve been doing this less and less because it’s honestly depressing when I look at society today and realize this seems to be where we’re heading instead).

Unfortunately, I won’t care what the history books will say because I will long be dead and forgotten as well.

I cannot hope in the hereafter because there simply is no plausible basis for such, as nice as the thought of justice in the hereafter would be.

No. If there is justice to be had, it would need to be in this lifetime to be considered such. Anything less is our failing of today.

sighs Such a crummy species we can be. The only thing I can hold on to is the fact that human progress has trended towards the better and hopefully it will continue that direction (presuming we don’t obliterate ourselves). It’s too bad I won’t be around to see that.

When one focuses on the whole, they can see the positive progression of humanity. It is indeed better than ever. Humans are living longer and healthier and with more dignity than before. But… it’s much too slow. I’ve only this single life. We truly are capable of so much more… if we really wanted.

It’s too bad I wasn’t born much later. I’d like to see humanity at its best. But I suppose there’s just as much chance that we’ll obliterate ourselves.

There is very little I can affect and experience in my lifetime, and so I will do with my time what I might. But goodness, there are some hard days… and years.

Oh, wow. 😏

Seriously. With the amount of anger regarding the Epstein files, I have zero confidence that real consequences will be paid by the perpetrators and those who looked away. I’ve even less hope in justice for the victims…

I really need some hope in this. Please. 😞
