Many of us, nowadays, seem to believe that a happy future is something impossible to achieve. While such concerns must be taken very seriously, they are not invincible. They can be overcome when we don’t lock our door to the outside world. 

        Happiness can only be discovered as a gift of harmony between the whole and each single component. Even science--and you know it better than I do--points to an understanding of reality as a place where every element connects and interacts with everything else. 

        And this brings me to my second message. How wonderful would it be if the growth of scientific and technological innovation would come along with more equality and social inclusion. How wonderful would it be, while we discover faraway planets, to rediscover the needs of the brothers and sisters orbiting around us. When one realizes that life, even in the middle of so many contradictions, is a gift, that love is the source and the meaning of life, how can they withhold their urge to do good to another fellow being? 

      Plenty of people expressed frustration on social media on Saturday, as the prospect of losing an hour’s sleep loomed large. Abolishing Daylight Saving Time – or conversely, extending it year-round – would require a law passed by U.S. Congress. States are allowed to opt out of Daylight Saving Time, but all states are required to follow standard time from November to March. Legislators in some states have tried unsuccessfully to pass laws abandoning Daylight Saving Time, but Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that do not reset their clocks twice a year. For everyone else, Sunday morning will come just a little bit earlier than usual.
