At a time like this I find that we have to dig a little deeper for a positive outlook. I am not a blind optimist but as you see in the TED talk by Bill Gates there is always hope. It was Albert Einstein who said “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination”. There will probably not ever be another PAUSE in our lifetimes that allow us to exercise these Imagination muscles.
I choose hope and imagine we come out of this much, let me add another much, better than we were. I can see our young folks creating a sense of self help and self awareness that wasn’t a pert of life leading up to this uninvited self reflective opportunity. The choice is ours.
