File:'Hope, In Turbulence'.webm

English: The individual process of seeking an enduring Hope and sense of greater meaning, within an experience of constant change and turbulence. Turbulence - instability, disturbance, unpredictability, randomness, fluctuation, disorder, unrest, agitation. An unending process of finding meaning and purpose in the joy, tragedy and random instabilities of life. The perpetual seeking of order, and of sustaining value in a rapidly changing world. The difficulty of creating a meaningful existence in a journey that frequently feels like that of a passenger in a vehicle with only an accelerator and no brakes or steering. Searching for an understanding of reactive cultural swings, between the extreme endpoints of oppressive, conservatism toward progressive anarchy and back again. Seeking out creative possibilities beyond an institutionalized apathy, ennui and a passive stasis of human potential. An enduring hope for a synergetic/collaborative paradigm of sustainable, evolving existence, in a modern world where (ephemeral; transient) value is assigned to short-term success, efficient compliance, disposability/planned obsolescence, and instant gratification. Change and flux are inevitable, yet Hope endures.
