The case for optimism!

Greetings good citizen! (Threw the exclamation point in there to make a point, all is NOT lost.)

Nobody likes being the bearer of bad news but if you aren't facing reality, [which you have to admit is grim and getting worse all the time, it begins to look like all I do here is complain when nothing could be further from the truth] then you will remain ignorant of why there is so much suckage in your life!

After I complain I provide solutions. I Can't help it, it's how I was raised. 'If you haven't got a better idea, shut up!'

Well...turns out I have a LOT of 'better ideas'.

Understand good citizen, one man's heaven is another's hell, there's no avoiding that.

I'm not selling 'utopia', I completely understand 'viva la difference!' [In fact my 'design' incorporates the broadest of strokes so water can 'find it's own level' across the spectrum.]

I call it the 'Birds of a feather' program, intended to facilitate those with similar interests to live with/among like-minded individuals. The admonition here is 'choose wisely'! If you like the 'freedom' associated with being a 'biker' but are repelled by the associated 'lax attitude' towards hygiene you may want to extend your search before joining the first biker enclave you run into!

Within each of these 'enclaves' you'd find clusters that share more diverse pursuits. For example instead of beer or whiskey, if you looked hard enough you'd find bikers who were also wine connoisseurs (or at least affecionados!)

Point being that by belonging to a community that shared your interests, you would feel 'valued' instead of isolated like you are now.

Nobody is anxious to join the poverty club (although I daresay we're all a lot closer to becoming defacto members of the 'dumpster divers guild' if this downward spiral gets much worse!

Sadly, you know where that one is headed...yup, it will become the big guys vs the little guys and you know who wins that one.

Always with the competition and the might makes right BS...even when it comes to trash!

Don't get me wrong good citizen, I look at 'the legendary' [Man's inhumanity towards man] and think, 'They're not worth it' all the time, just as you do.

So why do I bother? Same reason you do I suppose. Some of them are A-holes but they're MY A-holes and I love them!

Which is where I leave you, good citizen; to ponder if money is the root of all evil or is the true answer LOVE?

Just something to consider, given what the foolish among us have sacrificed for the L word.

Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Gegner
