Tough to see so many strangers so sad about the world around them. I’ve been traveling around Europe for a while, and even though Americans have a bad reputation over seas, paradoxically we’re still seen as the place where everything worth a damn happens in the western world. We have so many crazy things happening and opportunities, many that we don’t take enough advantage of, and a big part of that is the pessimism that has become endemic in our culture. Nothing has made me more patriotic than going over seas, but mostly it’s a desire to take better advantage of these freedoms to create something wonderful. I think people just need a bit more hope.
