Japan, Libya, the stock markets and what's next? Today, we're right in the midst of another “down” moment and it's up to each one of us to keep a decent level of sanity and good morale. Let's not dwell too deep into depressing news. What we're hearing today are the typical news humanity has been hearing since it began to roam this planet some 250,000 years ago and fully began to realize they were indeed bad news.
As awful as the dispatches we hear can be, from invasions, to wars, plagues, Chernobyl, or September 11, the skies eventually clear and in the meantime, we ended up plugging away at something, sure there was some unnerving tension, insecurity, but nonetheless billions of people have managed to carry on through all these crises. When we keep these realities in mind, we realize that as long as we're fortunate enough to remain alive amidst all the chaos and confusion, and somehow continue to manage, hope remains.
This is why any optimism we can muster must be nurtured and amplified to carry us through the day. Granted, people suffer, our planet takes a hit, but our energies are better spend laboring towards a constructive set of solutions than by pulling back our horns and playing dead.
