People around the world are wondering about the United States these days. Allies feel attacked and abandoned, national officials don’t stick to many of their words and change course regularly, and the United States demands money from nations we are trying to diminish. We don’t know how this will end, but young people are regularly exposed to the worst in human behavior from the occupants of high office. Many thoughtful people believe there will be a high price to pay.

Let’s care about the future and spread hope and joy in this foreboding time. We can light the way to better days with some good fortune and the triumph of goodness over evil.
