Human nature is amazing. We are gifted with the ability to rise above problems with the simple will of determination. It may take us longer than what is generally considered necessary however we eventually do rise above our problems. It may seem like we are continually stuck in thinking and behaviors of the past but the slow and methodical progress forward is a constant. It is due to our resilient natures. Regardless of the obstruction and the disingenuous arguments some parlay into temporary victories, the ever persistence of our will to have better is overall dominant. Today I can see that despite some setbacks in how our culture perceives what is right, the fact that these setbacks have infuriated so many is the test of our resilience. Time will tell if we can overcome the foolishness of some but our history so far has proven us quite able. Speaking of time, which is how we often measure success, it is taking less and less all the time for solutions to problems to actually become effective. We have greater abilities to communicate with each other and that simple fact allows for our populations to band together in common to force otherwise unwilling political power players. I often think of the song "American Pie" and how it related it's message to the paradigm of the power of music to connect us, the same can be said for the Internet and it's ability to allow us to band together to fight for our future better while also keeping us looking back to attacks on our current better policies. As long as we continue to remain interconnected our resilience will guide us to a better world.
