The Future Will Be Bright

In the past, people would look to the future with hope, with expectations of better days to come. Now, that those days have come to those who have hoped, it seems that we, who have arrived at that moment, only see nothing. And if we do see anything, it’s visions of darkness.

Mainly before the 2000s, people would envision the future with flying cars, cures for cancers, and great technological advancements. Although that hasn’t all come to fruition, you cannot blame them for seeing a bright future. The future is always something to look for. You can’t change the past, but you can change the future. This is something people seem to get in the past.

In the future are all our hopes, dreams, and fears. The future should be something we look forward to, a place where we can atone for past sins, and make great happen.

Sadly, people seem to have gotten into a rut, of seeing a world of darkness ahead: Zombies, global warming, over population, and aliens sometimes. Those things, to a certain extent are true. However, they are only as realistic as the first and last items mentioned in that list.

Nevertheless, the future is not dark, people are making better choices. In Norway they are planning to have all electric cars by 2025. In Israel, they are using Algae to make power, and in all the world we are starting to use solar power.

Furthermore, only just last year, humanity made great steps in the world of technology. Just naming a few boons to humanity: the water purifier that purifies sewer so it’s drinkable, a syringe like device that can seal up wounds instantly, lamps powered by plant, and material that absorbs oil spillages. These are only just a few innovations, and that is only in one year.

 

Every day people are learning, every day people are finding better ways, and every day the world is making a better world. The ideal of the future being dark is almost a fairytale. There are brighter days ahead. The predictions of the past that the world is going to end may have been true then, but with each and every day, something is created, whether it be new ways of living or things to make our world better.

Truth be told, what may have been fact that the world was going to end by humans hands is no longer true. Instead, a better future is being built by those same hands that was once destroying in the past.
