“Stop thinking this is all there is. Realize that for every on-going war and religious outrage and environmental devastation and bogus Iraqi attack plan, there are a thousand counter-balancing acts of staggering generosity and humanity and art and beauty happening all over the world, right now, on a breathtaking scale, from flower box to cathedral. Resist the temptation to drown in fatalism, to shake your head and sigh and just throw in the karmic towel. Realize that this is the perfect moment to change the energy of the world, to step right up and crank your personal volume; right when it all seems dark and bitter and offensive and acrimonious and conflicted and bilious … there’s your opening. Remember magic. And, finally, believe you are part of a groundswell, a resistance, a seemingly small but actually very, very large impending karmic overhaul, a great shift, the beginning of something important and potent and unstoppable.”

I like to think it could be true. At the moment, I don’t know how I feel about any of it.
Boy. That must makes me wanna go kick that fuck’n hippie’s ass.
Ah, Senor Cynical. I guess I don’t have one of the “cool blogs” anymore. Too bad.
I don’t know if it’s totally true, but there’s no way to know. Why not have a little faith in the world? or people? I blame it on the media. And every newspaper I’ve worked at always leads with what bleeds, and I think that sucks. I think it’s important to write stories about good things that happen in the world. It’s not like the only serious news must be bad. That’s like saying every intelligent opinion must be negative. It’s easy to sound smart when you’re opposed to something, but harder to sound smart when you agree. Easier to sound serious if it’s bad news… you get it.
Anything is true if you make it true.
Do you think that’s true???
not to be a fatalist, but……
seems pretty fucking optimistic to me.
