I have noticed that most of the news, and most of the forecasts I hear about the world are decidedly negative. Crime at an all time high. Value of the dollar is falling like a satellite from orbit. Nature herself beats us with meaner, stronger, faster storms and more earthquakes than ever before. So on and on and on.
It is also said that this is meant to happen. That we approach that great and final end of time for humankind. This group will be slaughtered because they don't side with all the rest of the misled and evil people, and thus get to go to heaven. This group will finally be able to watch their Lord descend from heaven and destroy the evil infidels, and burning fire will cleanse the earth, paving the way for a better, holy, perfect paradise. So on and on.
I don't buy into it all. I do think things are changing on a global scale. Like never before we as humans can actively work together on a global scale, and I think this is our time to shine like never before. Seriously, if we can work together on a global scale and working together save the lives of millions, I think we'd continue to grow and change as a species, and we'd be developing toward being able to work together on a star system scale, then a galactic scale. We may even get help from other civilizations.
The point is, even if things are getting bad, we can choose to look forward to things getting better in the long run. We can also look forward to making ourselves better, and doing what we can to make life better for everyone around us. If the world insists on changing, then let's change, and let's use whatever influence we have to change it for the best.
