The New Religion: Optimisim

The soul knows truth. It is something like a book, in that, even a book dusty and unread on a shelf still holds the story in its pages. We still have our soul, some know it and practice. To them yes, be optimistic.

In terms of society, optimism is unhelpful if not completely unrealistic a prevents reaching the requisite level of seriousness in order to promote individual change. Optimism, if nothing else, is a practice in blind faith for the situation is and has always been getting worse. Disagree, then what about education, war (for more______)

Socially we are destine to ride a rougher road for say no other reason than we keep going in the same direction. Optimism is perscribed by the media/government and education. On a college campus, any college campus across the country there will be no demonstration to end the war or to stop poisoning the air or water. How can one be optimistic if society refrains from personally and publicly standing up for solutions.

Argue: Global Warming; War; Agriculture..... The topic that no one addresses is consumption, population, design. We cannot be optimistic if we don't discuss the root causes. They say "its complicated". Reason would have it that simplicity would be the solution and cause for optimism.
