Even though the global population is soaring into the billions with thousands of religions, languages, philosophies, and cultures represented, ultimately, there are only two Kinds of people. There are those who are certain the world is going to hell in a handbasket, and those who believe the best is yet to come.
(actually there is a third kind of person who thinks traditional Irish dance is the highest form of creactive expression, but i really don't want to talk about them. -
Now, it hardly takes a genius to point out that we already live in dangerous and uncertain times. Why, all you have to do is turn on the TV, grab a copy of the newspaper, or just take a look out your window.
It ain't a pretty sight. Best friends and former allies are suddenly tearing at each other's throats, while unshakable economic powerhouses are crashing to their knees on a daily basis. -
Id say thats pretty true
(Im probably one of those third kinds of people.) -
EMOGIRL679 NewbieOh MY GOd preach it!!

You and I both know that good people get attacked in broad daylight all the time, But somehow the bad guys never get caught. It seems that everywhere you turn there are psychotic egomaniacs secretly trying to spoil your fun, drive you crazy, and generally make your life miserable.

EMOGIRL679 NewbieSo true

EMOGIRL679 NewbieBut thats just life saddly

Just for starters, there are shop clerks with WAY TOO MUCH ATTITUDE, doughnuts with too much icing sugar, UNBEARABLY LONG TAP-DANCE ROUTINES IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FAVORITE OLD MUSICALS, and the dramatic aftereffects of a dangerously authentic chili con carne that are made ten times worse because public bathroom doors never lock properly anymore!
(sorry that took so long, i had to get with my group, to talk about or project) -
Sorry, guys, i have to go, I'll try finishing this at lunch.
I HAVE A TON OF s--- TO SAY THAT'S EXTREMELY TRUE AND MAKES ME CRY AT THE END. -
I'm back.
Of course, Heartburn is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING compared to heartACHE. Even though we are frequently told there are plenty of fish in the sae, the TRUTH is that MOST OF US SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF OUR LIVES PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY ISOLATED, FEELING UTTERLY ALONE. ( -
If you listen to the professional doomsayers, they will tell you that's barely the half of it. They say these are our darkest days, and the future seems bleaker than ever. They tell us again and again that evil lurks everywhere-
in the streets, in the media, in the air, in the water, in the corridors of power, even in your sock drawer- waiting impatiently to rise up when we least expect it and sink its venomous teeth into our most tender regions. -
hmm what if I told you... happiness is not something you obtain through items or even through people. happiness is not a feeling to me at all, because in reality it is virtually unattainable, but, kindness can be passed to others, giving that other person a sense of happiness and in doing so receiving temporary satisfaction. but being persistent is the key. as I said, temporary.

"It's the end of the world," they shout. "It's all over!!!" Now, what I find so confusing is that if these stone-faced folk truly believe all the scary stuff they preach, why do they chose to keep on living?
Okay, I freely admit that choking yourself to death is not nearly as easy as it sounds, and I was surprised to learn that you can't actually kill yourself simply by overdosing on bran fiber, although you certainly do become embarrassingly regular. Luckily, thanks to modern technology, putting yourself out of your misery has never been more convenient or affordable. Of course, if life really appears that unpleasant and meaningless to you, go see an eye specialist and then take a closer look. You will find that there is always beauty and hope even in the most awful circumstances. There is always someone prepared to help those who ask. There is always someone you can count on, and there are a million special moments that can chase the shadows from your face in an instant and will cost you nothing but a few spare minutes.
Furthermore, Romance is not dead. In fact, there are actually more qualified tango instructors working today than at any other time in history. The odds of an unexpectedly intimate Jacuzzi encounter have also never been better. Although it may not be on your mind right now, the wisdom you glean from your joys and hardships can always be shared with someone else, and, by doing so, you will leave the world a little better than when you found it. -
Even though I think life is infinitely more preferable to that alternative, I'm not pretending it's always easy or enjoyable. The truth is that sometimes life is si damn hard it gives you a cramp in your brain just thinking about what you have to do just to survive another 24 hours. So it's no surprise when that they think of the future, a lot of people feel anxious, somewhat depressed, and generally confused and alarmed. Even in the best of times there will never be a shortage of moaners and grumblers, but it's always fascinating to see how different people react during times of genuine uncertainty.There are those who completely flip out at the first rumor of trouble and start screaming "THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!"
But when you press them for hard evidence to explain their panic, they admit they have nothing better to back up their position than what " a little bird told them"
Somehow it never occurs to them to wonder how credible the little bird's source was in the first place.
I have to leave now, But i will be back tomorrow morning. -
Actually, I'll be back in 6th period, so se y'all then. You may post, comment, etc while I'm gone.
