The Lessons We Learn Too Late

I have an unfounded hope in humanity, even as of late. Not sure where it comes from, but my outlook for the future is always positive.

It’s a curse the lessons we needed early in life are always the ones that come to us late… or even too late.

Sure, there’s always something we can do right now, but only if we knew better before, right?

Our collective concern is that humanity is going to learn its lesson a little too late, and while there is something to be said for that, let’s consider where we were a hundred years ago:

We just finished a world war, entered into a great depression and global pandemic.

How much have we learned from then?

How much have we grown?

Despite the media focus, we are not in the same place we’ve always been. We are somewhere much better and the lessons we’re learning too late are the ones our future generation is learning right now.

Also, it’s never too late to start.

Ever.
