Thank you, I am personally fine, living the life I want within my circumstances, I am not sad. I think it's a little interesting that feeling pessimistic about the course of civilization necessarily means I am in despair. Humans are just one creature on the earth, our fate as a species need not be the determination of an individual's happiness.

Also, I might need to check to see if I have the required income to be eligible for being this site, I might not make the cut...
