Sparking Hope

Understanding How To Move Against The Hopelessness

There are times when I look at the world...

And I wonder...

If it is all hopeless.

If the struggles and pains and work...

Are worth the effort.

You want to make the world a better place...

Deeply you do...

But so many people are actively working against it...

Ready and willing to do, say, and promote terrible things...

Even good individuals who simply are not aware of how they have been indoctrinated...

And are actively being manipulated.

What can be done?

If the face of all of these barriers that are created in the world?

Where people pursue pseudoscience based on their own wants, desires, and biases...

Rather than facing what the data reveals.

Or where people act in their own “self-interest”...

Not realizing that our own greatest interest, by nature, is in the state of interdependence.

What can you do in the face of all of this?

Can you begin to even put a dent in the state of the world?

Maybe Not.

There are so many factors outside your control...

Individuals actively working against you...

Systems that are designed to hide the Truth...

And People who would rather settle for what they see...

Then pursue something greater that they are not aware exists...

Or are afraid to consider when presented.

It is faced with this that it all feels...

Hopeless.

And...

If you choose to not do anything...

It is hopeless.

Inaction is an acceptance of what is...

Making change impossible.

But...

If you want to have hope...

For something better...

For a different future...

Then your only choice “is” to act.

Even if you are the only voice that cries out to the festering abyss...

You must act.

For to do otherwise is to accept hopelessness.

You cannot do nothing and expect the situation to have a different result...

That is the definition of insanity...

And I constantly see insanity play out in today’s world.

It is true we must act...

But we must be wary of how we act as well.

I watch many people trade one form of insanity for another...

Constantly...

Sometimes giving up one set of chains...

For a worse set of chains.

This is not the way for the world to change either.

If we are to have hope...

We must look at where things go wrong...

And look to build something new.

We may need to act alone at the beginning...

Yes, your voice may barely be audible...

But you must keep using your voice...

You must keep acting forward...

In Unity...

In Truth...

And the Truth shall set you free.

Though the world may feel hopeless...

There is Freedom that is obtained by Acting and Speaking in Truth...

A Freedom few ever obtain.

It is through that Freedom...

Through that Truth...

Through that Action...

Where the world goes from being Hopeless...

To having a chance...

And it is that small chance where the spark of Hope begins.

The flame may not catch immediately...

You may need to act many times to catch the right spark that lights the fire...

But if you never create the sparks...

Then no fire will ever exist.

What you decide to do...

Matters.

It may not feel like it in the moment...

But our words and actions carry further than we ever realize...

Impacting in ways we may never see or understand...

Spark Hope.
