There are those who tend to see the world with as half glass empty – the pessimists and nihilists among us. These types of people tend argue their point of view by pointing out all the atrocities of the human experience. The media operates on a similar modal by pushing an agenda of negativity and drama. By pushing the saddest most depressing stories from around the globe it creates a narrative that the world is consumed by hate and evil. It is likely true though, due to the vastness of the human population there is probably an evil act being committed almost every instant. However, this has to be dramatically outweighed by the good that is happening, and the reason I believe this is so is that we’re still here, not only that, but almost all fields of study are advancing as well. So not only are we all still here, but our understanding of the world is growing deeper every day. If evil and hell was overtaking good wouldn’t much of our growth and advancement be diminished and grinded to a halt? Maybe many think that’s what’s slowly happening now. Or maybe not. Maybe by orienting ourselves towards a little more good we can avoid this. We have a lot of work to do, but we’re still here. People like Peterson are helping orient people like me towards a little more good. If we can get just a few more people every day to push themselves towards ‘heaven’ rather than the ‘hell’, then maybe we can last a little longer.
