43. And we live in a time when

history is at our fingertips. I was raised on World War II stories in books, TV, and movies. I just assumed that everyone knew how the civilized world almost collapsed because of authoritarian leaders and the mindless sheep who didn't question them. It wasn't some obscure ancient history that only scholars knew about. We've had it drummed into us over and over again, yet we still have people who don't even know who we fought in WWII or why.

A part of me is still hopeful, but not with the certainty that I once had. The amount of hatred and violence we're seeing is terrifying and it seems to be getting worse.
