Howdy guys,
Hope you’re doing well and taking good care of yourselves.
These are times of direst stress and one should stay optimistic about tomorrow. I know that this can be difficult but still…
Personally, I do lots of stuff like exercises, meditation, spending time with myself, and doing artwork amidst the nature. When I feel bored, I play board games or watch a sci-fi movie.

Now, the thing about sci-fi is that a lot of these movies show dystopian future. Machines will rule the world, there will be World War III, killer virus will turn people into flesh-eating zombies, and what not!
I won’t name them but I generally dislike the sheer amount of melancholy in them. It’s difficult to think of a reason why someone would take interest in such a nihilistic subgenre. In TV shows, we have the likes of friggin’ Black Mirror and WestWorld. They’re nice, don’t get me wrong, but they affect the minds of the individuals watching them in such a manner that the younglings end up in disdain. This shouldn’t happen. Not today!

What we need now is actively-optimistic sci-fi which paints a brighter picture of the future for us. One that binds us together and makes the fandom going strong… Strong like Uncle Iroh 😀
