The Fight for Truth Will Make You an Optimist!

Friday Questions: In the midst of an unfolding tragedy, how does one remain optimistic?  All of the questions taken today show a desire to be hopeful -- i.e., not to give up -- but reflect an underlying fear of a coming unavoidable catastrophe.  Hoping for a better outcome, and then fighting to achieve it, is what makes us human!  As long as there is freedom to be creative, the oligarchy cannot succeed.  That's why they engage in censorship and psychological warfare.  Be human, fight for a better future.
