Optimism in the face of adversity
People in a disaster-stricken community should focus on its revival, not on suicidal resignation that leads to its further decline. It is possible that the decline of any indicator will not stop when it reaches zero, but will reach negative values with destructive consequences up to the annihilation of life, which is considered a sin, since humans were given the planet for their use and care (sustainability). An optimistic attitude in the face of generalized worsening of living conditions is substantiated by biblical examples that support joy in the tribulation of poverty. Shouldn't the powerful of the day, especially politicians, be the first to adopt this divine exhortation, instead of preferring joy over the trouble of wealth?!
