In addition to greater simplicity, we are consistently seeing trends towards greater kindness and softness. Plant and animal species are losing their venom and poison, different creatures get along better, wastelands like icecaps and deserts are disappearing, and nature itself is becoming less harsh.
A lot of the horror and fear in our past is being edited out. In songs and music videos, the lyrics and videos and artists themselves have less harshness and more love. Horror movies are becoming less horrible and scary, as illustrated by the disappearance of the line “Hello, Clarice,” in Silence of the Lamb. The stories we tell our children are becoming less savage.
As the world gets kinder and softer, and as these changes are working into our past, there will be less and less need for fear, anger and hatred, and more space for love, awareness and beauty.
