i need to be more positive. yesterday, a friend of a friend asked me where i would like to go if i could choose anywhere. i mentioned i would like to be dead. it was’nt that i actually wanted to leave the earth, just that i yearned for the quiet contentment that i know it would bring. 

ohhh those green mountains on the valley afar, how tall and beautiful they are. 

we were born in a flurry of activity. in a safe warm space we were then we were pushed out of a space tighter then natural, into a cold hard place and spanked on the ass to start breathing. it is natural that we forget about all of this.

as a species we need years of caring for. this can help to explain the amount of mental health issues in society, due to the fact that as a species we are not prepared to take care of the next ones. we barely can care for ourselves, yet we are expected to care for the next generation. 

in perspective, these are the good ole days. nothing is absolutely wrong, we are at peace, have more then we can consume, hope lies in the distant future. things work, television is full of great programming, the view is amazing and free time is aplenty. 

i muse about the things that are wrong, but i am not sure i really believe this. from close up there is much to life that is appealing. praise the good. praise the good.
