I’ve fended away the thought that the world has always been crumbling, a grand ocean symphony of progress fighting against greed and power. Perhaps it’s just more visible now because our technology has improved. But even if that is all true, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. We have to see, and stare down, our problems in order to solve them. We can develop resolve when we consider the resiliency of progress from the past. It requires effort, but we can continue marching towards justice. We can change the world.
