Is our Future in history or is our Future history if we keep heading down the current path that we are on?
The Future us needs the current us to figure it out and learn from our mistakes instead of continually repeating them.

For those that voted for and continue to support Trump and his admin,
the pendulum swings both ways. While you currently cheer what this Trump admin is doing, there will come a time when you will be the persecuted. How will you want to be treated? What goes around comes around. Remember that.

It is sad and frustrating to continually see humans make the same mistakes over and over again. Read any history and you will learn that humans have been through this before. Different names, different technology, and different places.
Will humans ever learn? The Future sure hopes so.

It's important to remember that there is still plenty of goodness in this world during these trying times.
Most of us humans who walk this Earth are good. There are times when bad gets thrust upon us. When that happens remember to respond instead of react. The Future depends on our response.
