When I'm depressed, thinking about the future depresses me. When happy manic, thinking about the future makes me excited and ready to fight lions if that's what it takes to succeed. Then I have my inbetween stuff. I'd say that stable me is very worried about my future and the future of the world and all its inhabitants. We have reasons to be concerned as there is some crazy stuff out there, but we should also acknowledge that we live in much safer, less violent and saner times than we did just decades before. Progress is being made....a little slow for some of our liking and too fast for the liking of others....but it is happening. But I'm a little bit elevated still and can see the brighter side of things better right now than I usually can.
