A lot of people I know are concerned about the future. Some of them though are Future Bitches. This I do not like.

Imagine you’re having a pleasantly proactive conversation about the years to come. You and some friends are enthusiastically weighing up the problems and solving them in your imagination then and there – happily assuming everyone will go along with your ideas.

Uh–oh, the Future Bitch is revealed by the signature conversational bomb of their kind: “we’re not going to make it.”

This turns the conversation into a discussion of post-apocalyptic survival techniques, and how undeserving earthlings are because they’re so dumb and destroying their world.

If you’re going along with this conversation you’ve just given up on behalf of the whole planet.

Stay positive. Thoughts and words matter, if not to the world, then at least to you.
