Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

How does it inspire hope?
I never had positive experience on a family dinner. How can I be hopeful about them?
This post may not be for you :/
Even if I had that memory the meme itself doesn't inspire hope. The feeling that it represents isn't hope. It's nostalgia for love and warmth. There is nothing in here that represents looking forward for the future. I don't think that it fits into this community.
I wonder if perhaps it was a positive experience for OP and they hope to be able to provide the same for their future family. Just a guess though.
Fair point
Yeah, this seems like something that would be among the worst memories for a lot of people.
Neither did I but I’m hopeful that if people have experienced that they’re going to raise more kids who experience that and so on. It’s a hope for humanity, not for me personally.
