#28: We Miss Optimism

It’s pretty hard to feel optimistic these days. Our society and the world have many problems that are just too big to ignore. Many people are affected by the unpredictability of other people, nature, and forces beyond our control. This general feeling of anxiety really changes people’s outlook on the future.

Maybe this lack of optimism is simply the result of aging. Maybe it’s not. We really don’t have an answer or a solution to this problem. We do know that a lot of people feel the same way. Instead of optimism and excitement about the future, many young people feel anxious and depressed.
