But we can't afford to despair. I take each day as it comes, and ask myself..what is the very best I can do to help create a better world. What has to happen will happen...but we all play an important part in leading society towards that critical tipping point of consciousness.

We are animals with animal instincts. That's not bad, particularly when it is coupled with a brain and heart capacity that can think through things and care about things. But, as a whole, people don't do that. And I think they are just too frightened to look reality clearly in the face.<br />It will be interesting to see how things turn out. That is worrisome.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11619616528794958518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793227254506821903.post-6769824135852951032010-04-21T00:17:04.076-07:002010-04-21T00:17:04.076-07:00stop stressing over it, carolyn! whatever will be ...stop stressing over it, carolyn! whatever will be will be. we do our parts and that's all we can do. <br /><br />sorry to add to your worry but i do believe people are inherently evil. i remember learning in sociology class about Freud's theory... human are born with only 2 instincts -- ero (sex) and death. we unfortunately cannot freely express our instincts because we are living in society and we can't have people sexing and killing anytime they please. this therefore leads to the title of the book "society and its discontent". there'll always always be conflict in society because we are oppressing our instincts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132872142531671024noreply@blogger.com
