"Things seem to tend downward, to justify despondency, to promote rogues, to defeat the just; and yet by knaves, as by martyrs, the just cause is carried forward. Although knaves win in every political struggle, although society seems to be delivered from the hands of one set of criminals as fast as the Government is changed, and the march of civilization is a train of felonies, yet the general ends are somehow answered. We see, now, events forced on, which seem to retard or retrograde the civility of ages. But the world spirit is a good swimmer and the storms and waves cannot drown him. He snaps his fingers at the Laws: and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams. ---Ralph Waldo Emerson

Yes calamity exist, yes uncertainty and fear are prevalent and yes difficulties and challenges are ahead but know whatever happens is always best for the universal soul. Have faith in that.

"Our soul calms itself knowing that all things will go well" -Emerson
