These Summer Days
I recognize that I have it better than so many people, and that’s not necessarily fair or due to my own volition. I know many people are suffering in the world right now. But some summer days, I can’t help but reflect on how grand life can be. The world is getting better. The vast majority of people in the world are literate. Even if it doesn’t feel like it, the world is getting wealthier. Most of the world is healthier. We have serious blockers to solve, certainly. We will solve them. In the Northern hemisphere at least, we can enjoy these beautiful hot days and be grateful for what we have. Relish these summer days.
