If it was not for that belief, i would have ended my life a long time ago.

Peace, love and happiness - here we and I come.

Idk if I 'believe in it' per say,
but I do count on it -
playing as what's made of the very moment.

The future is just a projection from this instant called now..

It still pays to make plans though.. ensuring there is something good to do eventually..

I believe in the present.

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

it takes me a few minutes to believe in it so I would say that I believe in the last few minutes and live in the present.

I'm taking your question to mean 'Do you believe the future will be better?'
To that I would answer generally yes, but oftentimes no. I spend a lot of time bellyaching about the past, present, and future. I'm chronically online and living with a lot of stress right now so that's a lot of it. I am invested in topics like political dysfunction, income inequality, environmental degradation, social media's deleterious influence on people's minds, the silent class war of billionaires vs the working class. Systemic issues like these feel overwhelming, oppressive, and make it clear that us regular folks are on the losing side of the issues. When you look into the nuts and bolts of how our society works, the greed, corruption, hate, and ignorance of the world is hard to see past.

I believe humanity is entering a very awkward phase of existence wherein our potential for greatness is growing but so too is our potential for great evil. We are committing relatively fewer atrocities but we are also becoming more self-aware. So when we do wrong, we really truly know better. We are not following an indigenous culture that makes us genuinely think we have to sacrifice children for a good harvest. So it makes our wrongs all the more haunting. But we are also aware of the atrocities of 'normal' life- The things that are wrong, but are so ingrained into our culture and society that they cannot simply be stopped- due to their tremendous momentum, among other things (i.e. capitalism, warfare, criminal justice systems).

So many people feel hopeless and that marks this as a very precarious period of time. Too many people do not believe in the future. They're uninspired, unmotivated, closed-minded, bigoted, and downright misanthropic. We can grow out of it, but we need hope to do so. We need people to tell themselves and everyone else that we will get better because we have to. And there are ways to improve your world, if not the whole thing. Focus on improving yourself, then help your family and then your neighborhood. It's a gradual process but you can bring a lot of beauty and good into the world if you learn the right tools. Live to improve your corner of the world. There's nothing hopeless people love more than to tell others why everything is hopeless- so tell me it's hopeless if you need to get that out- but I'd rather die fighting than live in peaceful resignation.

I was at a bar last night where the dj was playing Brian Eno and David Byrne compositions, and it was very restorative.

for those stuck on the web and all the concerns of the planet, all I can offer is to break into the moment with some kind of jazz

it seems this brain takes an ocean of data
makes little ideas out if it
ducks and bombs and me and good and bad
endlessly elaborating this and that future and past
its all we got to go on, but I don't believe in it
