We can go forward again

The world seems dreary. It is easy to feel despair.

However, the author Margaret Atwood advises us to hang onto hope.

Atwood likes to point out that the world has seen worse pandemics and worse political turmoil. “People wring their hands in despair when we have things happen that we consider going backward,” she says. “But the perky side to that is they can go forward again. It’s happened many times.”

I found this quote in the March 11, 2022, issue of The Week.
