Last thought on a late night

Looking ahead to the future, I find myself deeply pessimistic about Earth and civilization as a whole. Hopefully it's just a short-term blip, but the skyrocketing price of food and energy - with no real end in sight - doesn't portend well for humans on many fronts. I just have a vague gut feeling that we're going to hit some tipping point (not a good one) and then there will be no turning back.

Ironically enough, I'm optimistic about my personal future; this puts me at roughly the diametrically opposite position when I finished high school.
