You have high hopes for the future and an overwhelming right to do so. What I particularly like is that the word "optimist" is who you claim to be. By definition, an optimist is a person who believes that this world is the best of all possible worlds or that good must ultimately prevail over evil. We all have a dream of living in a world that is pure, free, and decentralized. But is it promised? No. Until that happens all of us that can see the truth are nothing but optimists in our quest for a better tomorrow. Not to say it's just a pipe dream, but to say that we must recognize the evils of our world and just do our best to change them.
