    You need hope.

    If you have no hope, why would you try to fix something? If people don’t try to fix something, it’ll never get done.

    So ask yourself, do you want a better world?

      Fair point.

      My counter is: I don’t think you necessarily do. A historian might have some insight on this.

      I find false hope to be more damaging than not hoping but still trying.

      And as to the why: because there are logical reasons to do so. It’s the right thing. I think we might get into religious understanding here, which is a fascinating thing, you see.

        And what are the logical reasons to do so? Maybe an that the changes you want would leads to a better future? One could call that hope.

          Just simple common sense, nothing more.

          If I can do something considered good or beneficial for others why shouldn’t I? The other path would simply be egotistical.
