Staying Sane In A World Filled With Madness

Yesterday I spent the day cleaning out tons of paperwork that was stored in a filing cabinet. It�s not the most exciting chore, but I enjoyed doing it because I was completely disconnected from the world during that period. Something I need to do every so often because I�m the type of person that keeps well informed about what�s happening around the globe. And this exhausts me. Because there�s so much crap going on all the time.

Greed. Hate. Cruelty. Exploitation. Destruction. Theft. Deception. Inconsideration. Rudeness. Manipulation. Corruption. Violence. UGH! As I get older I become more and more sensitive to all this negativity, particularly the pain and suffering that we cause the animals, many of which are headed to extinction because of us. What a rotten species we can be. Rotten. And barbaric. I often ask myself how I manage to stay sane in all this madness.

So, as a result of overloaded senses, I was in need of a break to recharge. It helped because I�m feeling better this morning. More like my usual self: optimistic and upbeat. There are good people in this world, I remind myself. Good people doing great things. And making changes. People with love in their heart.

Speaking of which, I�m ending the week with a video about love that will make you smile. When our heart is filled with love, there's no room for hate, and that makes for a better world.

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend. Remember to be kind.
