I am an optimist.  Despite all the bad things we see in the world: disease, hunger, death economic failure, etc., I think we will recover.  I think our current problems are causing some to reexamine their priorities and start looking more at their spiritual side rather than concentrating on the material.  I think that as that trend continues and the world keeps changing, we will see an increasing interest in spiritual development.  I think we can save ourselves and our world before it's too late.  I believe that because I believe in God and I believe that God will continue to help us return to our original spiritual state with the help of His agent, the Sun of Righteousness.
