Things I Know ....
Laughter is the best medicine.
The world can be a bitter and ignorant habitat at times. I mean, who hasn't looked up at the sky (insert deity of choice here) and screamed in utter exhasperaton, "ARE U KIDDING ME?"..."WHY AM I HERE WITH ALL THESE CRAZY PEOPLE???" They seem to have nothing to offer this world.
Wrong.
The cast of characters may be different for everyone, but most decent folk are 'forced' into the realization that there are a few good apples in this world......and a surprisingly huge number of fruit that isn't even "with it" enough to allow the sunlight touch it's skin. They never ripen....they never sweeten....and sooner or later they just rot all to hell.... turning into food for a potentially decent and palatable baby plant. I have found that the trick in dealing with such unapeeeeling entities, is a process I like to call sorting. Basically descerning the good fruit from the nasty fruit at first glance. Over time, one gets to notice the signs of bad ones...the selfishness...the closed-mindedness.....the inability to empathize with other human beings...u get the gist. You've seen these people....they're everywhere...like Starbuck's.
As dissapointing as this is to every budding idealist....it can also be a source of healing humor. These young souls are the court jesters of our time....and who doesn't enjoy someone prancing around in tights being stupid? I ask you...who?..grin.
So, back to my initial point...
...Laughter
Regardless of how OBVIOUSLY unbalanced the fruit cart truely is....the few sane ones amongst us can always find humor (and yes, a stronger foothold on our good nature), on every corner, in this Lifetime Movie of the Week on 'roids we call life.
Laugh...you'll live longer.
