I am an optimist and I am not naive.  To look at the here and now is as looking at a snap shot, limited by what one sees in front of them.

The citizens of this planet earth are ever moving forward into a bright future if one can truly see what is before them.

We must look beyond the here and now and see with the eyes of generations past to perceive what is ahead to the future.   In just 100 years we as a planetary people have made great strides and will continue to stride forth into an ever brightening future.
The planet is growing smaller and we, the individual(s) ( nations ) of the world are coming together within an economic interdependence that will bring forth a peace that will initially be one of self need but in time will evolve to a peace about and for the well being of all.

The acknowledgment of civil rights though not universal at this time is growing and has made massive gains over the past centuries. The equality of men and woman will in time balance out the world.
Educational opportunities for all will strike the death nell of poverty and want.
The elimination of extremes wealth and poverty will see their end.

We are one planet and one people and we are beginning to understand.
