"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - Gandalf the Grey, Lord of the Rings

"You lot, you spend all your time thinking about dying, like you're gonna get killed by eggs, or beef, or global warming, or asteroids. But you never take time to imagine the impossible. Like maybe you survive." - The Ninth Doctor, End of the World

I choose to remain hopeful. Not because of a fictional delusion but because I still see people everywhere, helping each other with small acts of dignity. The world I envisioned as a naive youth may yet come to pass. That world still had problems but it also had people working together to solve them.

If a person is suffering from uncertainty it is because they think they are alone. Escape the internet, join a charity and you will see others who care about the same things as you and share your goals.

"In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to be more kind." - Frank Turner, Be More Kind
