There is always hope

Lucifer : I am anti-life, The beast of judgement, the dark at the end of everything, What will you be then dream lord?

Still with us Dream?

There are no more moves, What can survive the anti-life?

Dream : I…… I am hope

Hope? Well lightbringer, its your move What is it that kills hope?

In fearful day, in raging night, With strong hearts full, our souls ignite. When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars, for hope burns bright!"

What I am battling right now internally is a sense of nihilism, Trump's actions of horribility have – been painstaking, pin pricks to the chest, but so many of them, bit by bit tearing things

But that doesn't mean things are all bad, it's weird, I don't want to be dismissive of anyone's emotions as I am saying this

His actions of systematically, sending innocent people to prisons in foriegn nations is genuinely awful

and it also bothers me how, well, grok has become a full grown nazi-praising-bot, this comes after Elon's famous hitler-salute (also in the prior lined source)

anyway, these events have left me with a bitter taste in my mouth, they have made me lose direction – Is anyone trustworthy?, What can I believe?

There is a generic reminder of things, that are worth believing in for the time being

• American homicide rates have historically decreased since the 1990s

• Exteme poverty levels have drastically decreased since the 1820s

• The child mortality rate has plummeted since the 1800s (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041693/united-states-all-time-child-mortality-rate/)

Experientially too, a number of things have improved in the last century, womens rights have increased, I as a brown person am probably living in one of the best times as I ever could've in berlin - that isn't a lie, things aren't perfect, there's racist nonsense that does occasionally happen and I do have to work harder than the average individual here, but that doesn't mean my life isn't….amazing – Its not like half the time I am not lying in my bed watching amazing, spectacular movies online that I couldn't have had access to just a few years in the past, and I am still, constantly hanging around friends, going to these freaking unbelievably lovely vietnamese places (vietnamese food is the best food, period) that, the government does ensure follow health standards

We have made it through worse, We have crossed bigger hurdles in the past, We can cross this one too, We cured smallpox, the average person does no longer live in extreme poverty, Less people are killing each other, Far far fewer children are dying. There's alot more examples of this that I can add to this article for the future, but at the end of the day

Yes we must fight, but we are doing much much better than we have ever done before.
