history: I think the future will be brighter and conflicts between countries will be smoothed over. I'm hopefully that their will be peace in this world.
current: I am hopeful as well, but because we are human beings, I doubt that will ever happen. There will always be the same old squabbles that have occurred since the dawn of man.
next: True, just don't like how the world is inching toward a conflict that could spill over to a nuclear war.
