That word: hope. Sounds lovely in theory, but it doesn’t always translate into real change on the ground.
The hatred will be just as real in the coming year as it was in the last. Children will still be raised to vilify the so-called “others”. Ugliness will show up unchecked in our communities, forcing its targets to pull the covers on ever more tightly. And the cycle will continue anew.
It is for this reason that I don’t share generic happy new year messages on my feed.
Because nothing ever really changes. And it seems futile to cut-and-paste the same empty words year after year, only to realize nothing in return.
Instead I’ll continue to look to the skies and hope its light will eventually begin to shine on those who preach darkness.
