Sobering, but inspiring, Cindy. I get frustrated with people who are only ever negative and fearful, talking about all the gloom and doom and hopelessness, cramming fear down everyone's throats. I think this just makes the problem worse, and we can begin to attract the thing we fear.

Although it's important to pay attention to the issues, it's also important to focus on solutions, staying positive and optimistic as we find better ways forward so we can leave the world in better shape than we found it, and have it be something we're proud to pass down to the next generation(s).

Thank you for this!
