Understanding Is Not Required

I was listening to the old Peter, Paul and Mary song "Day is Done" today, while exercising. In the last verse of the song the child is smiling about his future, because he really knows that everything will be lovely and fine. I too know that everything for this planet and the people on it will be just fine - I don’t know what that looks like, which matters little. I feel that truth and know it very strongly, just like that child. That knowledge flies in the face of all reason since I also realize what we are doing to this planet and each other, but then "understanding is not required".
