Nicer Things

A while ago, (in commemoration of Friedrich Nietzsche), I wrote a list of unfortunate, unpleasant truths that are often overlooked. As promised, I return to list of what, for me, are 'nicer' truths (shutup nihilists, I share many of your opinions, this post is valid anyway). They're lamer and were harder to think of, but here you go:


-Solace from all sorts of discomforts may be fount in art, philosophy, literature, music, drama.
-Wherever and however life disappears from the landscape, it eventually springs up there again or somewhere else.
-Time heals just about all wounds.
-Nothing will stop stem cells, or science generally, including creationists and religious objectionists around the world.
-Memantine can help a person 'forget' chronic pain.
-"Evil empires" always do fall, eventually, due to internal problems or contradictions.
-We're capable of true empathy and sufficient sympathy, forgiveness, of rising above our most vulgar instincts through self-restraint. We're capable of change too.
-We're approaching greater levels of meritocracy, rather than unjustified aristocracies based on class, race, family name or title.
-Forgotten ideas will be remembered and current ideas improved on. The truth is always out there waiting to be discovered or re-discovered.
-Almost everybody is wealthier and far healthier than people from previous generations were. The lowest classes in Sydney lives like the Kings of centuries ago and poverty around the world is on the decrease.
-We're all dead in the end anyway.
-The World is tiny, there's so often a way for people who otherwise would be torn apart to cohabitate. And we can communicate with almost anyone, anytime.
-People usually eventually recover very well from intensely negative life events.
-There is somebody out there that can love you, no matter who you are.
-The pleasures of small things
-The 'good' will carry on acting as they do, even if they realise that there's no God.
-People living today have an historically almost unparalleled amount of freedom to live life as they choose to and are tolerated more than ever.
-There are lots of people who work tirelessly and altruistically.
-The Internet has drastically enhanced access to information.

Uhh, feel free to add.
