Never Lose Hope.

Today, while scrolling through my Facebook feed I came across a meme that is indicative of our current generations' outlook. Hope has been extracted from pop culture and mainstream media. The world is crumbling and we are the generation who has to pay for it. Many of us blame the boomers, while others blame the jews(they own most of the media and financing). Some even place the blame on a combination of the two, however, pointing fingers gets us nowhere. Identify the problem and find a solution. That is the way things are rectified. Yet, we are continuously faced with gloom and doom as such in this meme:

Yes, during economic downturns birth rates plummet. No one can blame people for making that decision. One could even say that is commendable. What we tend to forget, is that our ancestors used to live in much harsher conditions than us. This did not keep them from propagating. As a matter of fact, during 1000-1300 the European population doubled.  Despite foreign invasion and the black death,  people found a reason to keep humanity going. It doesn't matter if the average life expectancy was much lower and fewer children lived to see adulthood. Hope for a better tomorrow; a better future for those who did survive provided our progenitors with enough confidence to keep our race moving forward.
