Our true nature shines forth through the law of averages, and we've long ago hit the escape velocity required to reach the bright future even if we only did 51% as good as those who came before us. All therapy is healing the wounds of our ancestors for posterity. Similarly, all kindness is mending a rift in the heart of another. And we, as humans, can't help but heal. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #10 fediverse/2417 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── @user-1265 I can't reassure you about the "place", but the "times" are getting better.
