A Woman, a Dog, and a Flea
Considering the state of the world, it would be quite understandable if things were to get everyone down in a tremendous funk of mass depression. The wars, terrorist attacks, the pandemic of AIDS, global warming, the ever-growing gap between the rich and poor, ineffective politicians, and on and on and on.
But I look around and despite all the burdens of the world, people have an incredible ability to find joy in their lives. There is an extraordinary resiliency within us to not only endure, but to bounce back from the most tragic of events.
I don’t know if we’ll ever succeed in removing every terrorist from this earth. And I don’t know if solutions will be found for all the challenges we face. But our innate ability to persevere gives me hope.
Have a Great Aloha Friday!
