55. The opposite of easy, actually
It's going to be damn hard. Many have told us throughout this struggle that it's impossible, and that we should just give up.

Evolution has been stalled by those that would manipulate others using fear. Instead of being encouraged to cooperate and work together, we're encouraged to compete with each other and resent each other. Overcoming that kind of mindset is beyond challenging.

But it can be done, and it has to. The alternative is simply unconscionable. And I think, seeing the mainstream acceptance of Dennis' message of peace just recently (note by mainstream I don't mean accepted by the masses... I mean not just teenagers but people from all walks of life), we should all be a little encouraged that we have this wave building behind the quest for peace.

We just have to keep it strong, keep it going. As you said, accelerate the process.

It's up to us, really. And the whole world is watching. And waiting. Some desperately hoping... *sigh*
