Dante’s Optimism is the 3rd name change for this blog. It’s called Dante’s Optimism, but do you have any idea what I’m optimistic about?

I post nice stuff like good news, inspirational quotes, and all of that. But, is that something I really care about? Do I believe in that?

Well, yeah, to some degree. But, they don’t always match what I personally feel. What is optimism? Hey, Merriam-Webster, help me out.

• A doctrine that this world is the best possible world
• An inclination to put the most favorable construction upon actions and events or to anticipate the best possible outcome

This blog…tends to lean on the second meaning more. So, what is this optimism targeting? Let’s find out.

1. Justice for all

I believe that the wrongdoers of the world will meet justice. They will pay for their crimes in some way. Physically. Financially. Emotionally. Any of these things. Karma? Why not?

2. There will be a major newspaper AND TV news show focused on the positive

It’s so easy to stumble upon the shootings, thefts, and tragedies. We see a glimpse of a good samaritan or something. Stop. Don’t get me started on non-stories. Anyway, we are going to see a segment on TV that really highlights the good people and good things of the world. A half hour or full hour. There will also be a major magazine online to read up on the latest. Whether the same people are doing both of these things remains to be seen. I’d love to help out.

3. A hero won’t be special…won’t be needed.

I look forward to the idea that we will live in a time where there will be no evil and so we won’t need people to fight back. I also believe that the concept of hero implies that only a select few people would do something. I’ll talk about that in more depth.

Those are the top three things I am optimistic about. That’s Dante’s Optimism.
