Skepticism is a dress that appears elegant: it vainly aspires to suit everyone and give the wearer charisma and personality. Cynicism is satisfying: it makes you feel different and better than other people, those naive, unwary souls who hope and believe.
The year’s end and the new year is a time of well-wishes and resolutions. One calendar closes and a fresh one opens, with unfounded faith that it will be better than the last. Personally, I always carry and nurture that hope like a precious gift, no matter what.
I think that skepticism is actually the disguise and livery of those who are beholden to it. I prefer an optimistic heart and, despite everything, faith in reason. That’s why I believe in the power of goodness, in the future of humankind, in the infinite goodness of He who gave us life.
I prefer an unwavering conviction that the new year will be fairer, more joyful, more empathetic and more serene. That’s what I wish each of you with all my being: a 2024 dedicated to love. Believe me, even just trying it will make it better!
