Wanting to live in the end times is kind of cowardly since it absolves of you of the burden of building a better future. Some great compelling force will come down from on high and sort it all out.

Since you don't really know what times you face it's more responsible and brave to live as if these are the "Beginning Times" instead. And with great effort you may do a tiny bit of good that lasts a few decades beyond your grave.

@futurebird I really admire and appreciate the way you think and talk.

@falcennial While we are admiring and appreciating, I have to say that this is not the first time I've seen you taking the time to express your appreciation for other people's posts in a way that's much more impactful than a simple like or boost would be.

So I'll turn this back on you: I admire and appreciate the way you share this positive feedback such that it makes this little social network a better place.

And to be sure, you're also not just blowing smoke… @futurebird is pretty awesome.
