Faith in the Future

Took placeMarch 12, 2022
LocationMoshi, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
FormatYouth
We were bounded only by the earth and the ocean and the sky. Despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness. Testaments of this are our unimaginable technical marvels and unfathomable pieces of art and wisdom. We have come so far and are yet farther to come. What brought us this far is our faith in each other and in the future. Persisting and refusing to give up is what fueled us through hard times. But is this where it stops? Have the issues we face grown beyond our problem-solving capabilities? Our little terraqueous globe is the madhouse of those millions of worlds in the galaxy. We, who cannot even put our own planetary home in order, riddled with rivalries and hatreds, are we ready to venture out into space? There have been many challenges, but we are an adaptable species. It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri and the other nearby stars. It will be a people very much like us but, with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses.
