Generally speaking, I have great faith in humanity.  I am of the firm belief, that there is nothing we can not accomplish. We need only to take down the self made obstacles that impede our progress. We can rid ourselves of the limitations of poverty, hunger, disease, violence and needless suffering. We simply need to agree to do it. We have the resources, the technology and the ability. The only thing we truly lack, is the desire.  I know the task seems overwhelming, but by what would you rather be overwhelmed, something coming at you, or something coming from you?   I deny the power of these things over us. I know we can do it. Yes We Can!!

Every now and again though, something happens that shakes my faith to the core and causes me, if only for a few fleeting moments, to abandon all hope, to believe we… are all doomed. Sadly, this week my friends, such an event has occurred. I feel myself slipping into the depths of depression and despair, is all hope for our species lost? So I reach out to you my friends for support, courage, compassion and understanding. I know with your help I can make it through this dark time  for humanity. For just yesterday, season 2 of the Jersey Shore premiered. OMG!! WTF!! Can we not do better than this??!!

OK, OK, I know this is not one of my usual thought provoking posts, but I am allowed to have some fun on occasion am I not? Actually, I take that back, Most of it is quite thought provoking. Though I am not sinking into the depths of depression and despair, the rest of it pretty much applies. Be well, Peace…..

Thanks for stopping by, join the conversation!!
