War & the Long Peace

This is a somber, but ultimately insightful video. Watch until the end to see how it flips to the positive.

Many of us never experienced World War 2, or fully  understand it. Recent, and developing events are quite concerning, but it helps to zoom out to see just how good the world has been.

The Long Peace may end, but not likely. Humanity have learned and and evolved since WW2...hopefully. We may worry about the future, but we can rely on knowledge of the past; peace has benefited generations. We are better than we have ever been. We don't know what will happen, but we can take solace in the fact that the odds of continuing the Long Peace are much higher than its end.

Then again, the specter of WW3 haunts us.
