Hope, more growing pains, more emphasis (part five; conclusion)

Summary

   That we will witness a rise in hope, both in expression and in its resultant fruition has been the prediction of this document. The expression may not always be credible. There has always been such disingenuous capitalizing. However, the larger value will always eclipse such nuisances.
   We speak in terms of politics and economics, legal systems and trade. When having these conversations there has always been the limits of geography. Now the conversation is global, and that geography is the entirety of our one blue marble. The answers to our questions are making themselves known. Countries were, basically, on their own more than 100 years ago. Across the previous hundred years, the arc of charity rose. This next century should see less-developed countries (LDCs) increasingly being given opportunity, charity, and perhaps even adoption; why not?
   Hope as aspiring, yearning and/or goal setting has opportunities to work now that it never had before. Ostensibly, the human condition is universal. We have far more in common than we do not. For instance, certainly we have assigned meaning to order things; over the years we have used terms like black, white, mulatto, light skinned, dark skinned, African-American, Hispanic, Latino, but there is just one race, the human race. This human race has a magnificent range of coloration, but honestly, it is all from the darkest to the lightest within the same family of brown. There has never been a race truly red, yellow, or for that matter any other color. The slow disassembling of the racial divide is upon the peoples of the world; and is not to be over-looked for its power to uplift us all, or for that matter for some to uplift others. This is but one example.
   We saw the difference the internet made in Tiananmen Square, and during the 2009 Iranian elections. Sometimes the difference making, like these political expressions, will be a slow erosion; but sometimes not.
   An article published May 1, 2007 in Foreign Policy News, found the editors carefully chose subject matter experts to review how dire, or indeed hopeful, the worst of the worst might be. The 21 subject matter experts each took on one of the worst considerations facing the planet. One by one the issues are addressed. The article entitled 21 Solutions, effectively maps out authentic reason to strive, inspire vision, and pursue hope (Kasparov et al., 2007).
   In some ways, like those associated with energy and climate, we have no choice. We know that we must act, and fortunately, we know how; and we can. In other circumstances, such as poverty, hunger, malaria and AIDS, not only is it making more sense to help then to not, the motivation of attached dollar signs are freeing up resources hitherto unassociated with such causes.
   Truly, hope must and will have an elevated expression.
