WS 7 Imagining the Future p. 535 Paul DiStefano

This article brings up a very interesting topic, “hope.” We all know that things are bad and that we need to do something, but not many of us actually do anything. We think that these problems are too big for us and that there is no way we can make a difference. This is the wrong way to think. If everyone does his or her part, it is not just one person making a difference; it is the world making a difference. When we just hope for a better future nothing happens. We just sit back and pray that a higher power will come save the day, when it is us that has to do the saving. It is good to imagine and hope that our future will work its way out, but it’s the action that actually does something.
