“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

So as I look around at my city, the country and the world…I always come back to one thought. What will change this? Is there anything but time or utter ruin that will bring sufficient enlightenment to people? When will people live as whole? When will we stop lying to ourselves about the state of things? As much as I try to avoid the news, there is always something else that comes to my attention that confirms my belief in the fact that people are misguided. So I ask myself and I put this question to you all…what will it take? Is it all just a matter of time? As resources grow thing will people work to improve things or will they simply horde new fuels? Will people claim enlightenment and openness will harboring the fears bourne of ignorance? So much trouble in the world. Is the appreciation of little things simply a way to avoid facing the large problems that surround us or is it the only way to stay sane. Do you laugh to keep from crying? I see many fall into the maddness like leaves in the fall. As though it were a natural progression. I’m concerned with my financial state and when my car will need brakes and how the Ravens will do this year. All of these things are just clouds though. They are smoke that keeps my mind from the fire. What do you believe and what’s real to you?
