Hope, a Gemini mission.

I read a little article.

Wherein I Attack Cynicism, Viciously and Profanely, with My Dying Breath

The article chief point, if I'm not mistaken, is that Cynicism robs our will from us. In some sense, it enslaves us. Now, I'm not going to deal with anything else, how I agree or disagree with some bit of the article, because that's beyond the point.

The point is to get up.

And then it moved me to reflection and some action; beginning with this response.

My reflection was about: what's the antidote for evil Lord Cynicism? Well, good old granny Hope. Hope might seem like a softie, but that's only when you don't see her at work. Hope is the spark for change. No work can ever be done without either hope or whip; and guess what sentiment provides a better "product", shall we say, from your hard work.

The world has turned crazy. I believe you agree. It's February 2025, Trump is back in power he's running amok. Etcetera, etcetera.

You know all that.

But there's a little thing we should be doing instead: provide hope. It might be through fiction: show what the world should be with some sort of solarpunk, or even some cozy fiction. Yep, that's a genre. Or give practical advice about whatever; it doesn't really matter. Just be around and show that there's a way out. Or band together, we should do that.

There are already many people doing the warnings. Yeah more people should have listened to them. But now it's the time to ameliorate the harm that's being done. And that can only be done by people who hope.

Fortune smiles at you only so often. Victory is treacherous. Hope, while depicted weaker than these two is always on the side of good. Our side, your side.

Let's be the bringers of hope!
