Loved this article. My thoughts have always been so much more about the future than the past. It’s human nature that creates much cynicism as much of that nature is based on short term survival and immediate gratification.

Thanks Joel. Yes, you’re right that our society mostly chases short-term goals, but we’re capable of so much more. 😏

Thank you Robin. I have to say though that I cannot fathom the potential for 6.75 trillion humans in this planet's future. Mankind is working way to hard to kill the planet - I think earth is going to have the last bittersweet laugh.

It’s hard to imagine all those generations to come, probably with a peak population of about 10 billion at any one time. You could be right that we don’t get to that future, but life is persistent and the earth can heal if we give it a chance. 😏

I felt you were affected by the bomb cyclones and knew you were enduring hardship. I feel we need our small community centers to be able to communicate on a larger scale so help can come from afar.

You’re welcome, Marion. I’m hoping our community can learn things from this storm and get a faster response next time.
