This is something I've been wanting to talk to my parents about. I I'll share your post with them because it's concise yet inspiring. My parents have recently decided to stick their heads in the sand, soon after the election. Especially my dad. He describes himself as an optomist, and although I believe in having an optimistic outlook in general, I know that it must be balanced with a REALISTIC outlook. He's been saying that he just can't stand paying attention to most of what's going on out there, and that he's just going to pay attention to the positive and wait out the 4 more years.
