People seem to think that because we even contemplate bad things happening we are bad people, and I see that as their fear being so overwhelming that they have to deny things that cause them fear. It is sad that folks can be so incapable of facing reality they have to live in a bubble of fantasy where only good things can happen.

It is difficult to look fear in the eye and keep moving forward into the future where it's coming from, but that is the only way to overcome the source of fear. Only when we face facts can we use them to create a better future. Terrible days may lie ahead, but worse will come if we pretend everything is fine. Our forefathers went through worse than this, and we are here today because they survived to thrive after vanquishing the problems that threatened them.

We can do no less for our posterity.

Thanks!
