The Optimism of Uncertainty by Howard Zinn
I'm back from a fantastic holiday in France and a London...let the post-vacation blues begin. But before I start writing about the things that happened during the vacation and thoughts that hit me, here's a great essay by Howard Zinn about holding on to hope and acting on it when everything seems so bleak. Just the other day my girlfriend was telling me she thinks it's just hopeless to make change in the world, and why I'm so into world affairs and change. I think this essay is a nice little inspiring piece for those who care to keep trying.
