Original message How do you keep hope alive?
I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I really want to hear your answers.
I don't have any hope any more. And I find it very difficult, if not impossible, to find happiness in my own life when I see things getting worse and worse for my fellow Americans. I'm happy for about a minute when I donate money to a food bank and then I'm sad again because I know even if I gave everything I had, it wouldn't be anywhere near enough. And I know, things are not going to be okay.
I think people are going to die of exposure and starvation. I think they are dying right now of that, and diseases that could be prevented or treated.
I don't see anything getting any better. I don't see any route to things getting better. Racism and sexism and homophobia apparently will never end, and the rich will always win.
I'm old and tired and I've run out of hope for this country.
Anybody else there too?
