I agree with you. It is hard to stay optimistic in these troubled times. But there is hope.
We are making great advancements in energy research, so the war on oil...er...terror will finally be over eventually. It's all about the money.
I had a very long and interesting debate about this last night with my friends. We got home from a concert and just sat around discussing what we think the future holds. We felt pretty optimistic about it last night, even if the optimism was fueled by some other substances in our bodies...
There is hope. You won't find a lot of hope on TV though. Get involved in your local independent media. Get your friends involved. Tell people that they are sick of being lied to by the media, because most of them won't tell it to themselves.
Rupert Murdoch (owner of faux news) deserves to go to prison for pushing his crazy agenda on this country, and for calling his propaganda journalism. Fair and balanced? Give me a bleeping break. Most who watch Fox news have no sense of what is going on in this world, even though they think they know everything.
Anyways, the news is generally focused on the negative things in life, because that's what gets ratings. Ratings get money. And money allows them to continue to do what they do. After all, the news corporations are just that...corporations. And their goal is to make money. It is just scary when they blatantly cross the line from objective journalism to complete propaganda.
Sorry for rambling, but I have been deeply troubled by these issues lately too. I find that meditation and carrying some crystals with me helps to maintain my positive energy
And that's what the world needs, is positive energy. We need a revolution of the mind, the collective consciousness, and of the world. It all starts with us, though. Things aren't going to change until people get involved.
