"In violence we forget who we are."
-Mary McCarthy
Sometimes I wonder what the world has come to. Who are we as people that we resort to anger? What happened to the Mickey Mouse Club era, the harmless world of Leave it to Beaver? I miss the innocence of being oblivious. I wish we could go back to simplier times. I question now if they ever actually existed. The truth is, the world has evolved, and and in that evolution, out of greed and angst, come criminals and gunmen. I am a member of the Shel Silverstein generation. I will be my own light source. I will find ways to stay simple. I will believe in something greater than myself. As I write this I am hopeful.
Lesson #8: Keep the faith
