    The younger generation is much more tolerant of people that our generations have been.

    hearing a child laugh or giggle is still one of the greatest things in the world and makes me smile each time I hear them whether I know them or not.

    you can still find music that suits your mood regardless of how you feel in that moment

    That would be cool!

    By the way, love that avatar of yours.  When I view it on a thread on my laptop,it looks like a little golden monkey bent at the waist.  When I click on it, then I can see that it's molten metal being poured into a guitar shaped mold.  Cool!

    When I listen to the young people around me.
    Now that Johnson has won for his Brexit plans and Trump, Erdogan and Putin are everywhere, these young people have just had enough of it. Many of them are starting to become politically involved in our community and don't want to wait any longer to get ahead.
    Perhaps this Greta sentiment has affected it, but it is largely uncertainty in all areas and the constant inactivity of politicians that drives young people.

    That gives me hope!

    This has always defined hope for me.  Still hard to believe that this occurred.  The night in WW2 when Germans and Americans came together.

    To add to it, Fritz was able to find two of the US soldiers in the mid 90s and they reunited.  It really is an incredible story.  Hope for mankind.

    I was a big frames fan way back and did not have any idea to the Glen Ed connection until a few years ago. I was stumped for awhile reading all the Glen comments at first, because nobody I knew IRL had any idea about the frames.

    My daughter gives me hope. She is focused and intelligent and driving to make a change. At her age all I cared about was drinking, drugs, and sex. I don’t care about drinking anymore. Glad I’ve matured.

    I read about Seattle losing the hard drug war problem and the paradigm shift towards not arresting addicts with less than 1 gram for personal. Saving 3 million dollars spent on court system repeat "offenders" and putting that money towards treatment programs for the repeat offenders. Gives me hope that maybe one day we will finally get it.

    My daughter  gives  me hope.
    She is 18 and just about to embark on a university course and one of englands red brick universities doing  micro biology. 
    I spoke with her yesterday  and she is fascinated with helping people who are suffering from genetic diseases.  
    Im proud . Humbled and mind blown all in one. There  is hope as there  are youngsters  out there who care and want to make a difference.
