Just A Thought ~ WISHFUL THINKING

In the 19th Century, Victor Hugo wrote: -

"In the 20th Century, war will be dead, the scaffold will be dead, hatred will be dead, frontier boundaries will be dead, dogmas will be dead; Man will live. He will possess something higher than all these ~ a great country, the whole earth, and a great hope, the whole heaven."

Alas, if only that dream had come true! As it was, the 20th Century was the bloodiest of them all, and the 21st doesn’t bode at all well. We should not lose hope, however, but should still strive, you and I, for a better world. Many good things happen alongside the disasters; it is not a matter of unmitigated trouble.
