Why Am I an Optimist?
September 1st, 2010A couple of weeks ago, I had dinner with an old friend I hadn’t seen in almost 20 years. She said she had no hope for the world. She wasn’t depressed. She’d just gotten to the point where she couldn’t see a way out of the mess we’ve created for ourselves. I told her I was still optimistic about the future. I guess I’ve been trying to figure out why ever since.
