The end is nigh?

What has happened to the world lately?

No matter where I look, there's evil, hatred and stupidity abound, be it political dumbness in one's own county, or outrageous injustice to democratic thinking people abroad, be it looting amongst the poorest after catastrophy has hit or giving away all our human rights with a smile, all in the sake of war against terror.

Seems to me, that we all are heading towards a climax, which would prove the Mayan calendar wrong in saying that there will be an end of a cycle in 2012, not the end of the world. Latter seems more probable nowadays.

So what I'm ranting about is following: is it politically correct to kindle some optimism despite all the facts against it? Is it safe to search for a laughter here and then, amidst all cruelties served by the media? Should we shed some light on the small things that are happening to us these days, that are actually good?

I'd say yes, because otherwise we wouldn't be able to find strength to fight against the adversities around us. And fight them we must.

So - laugh at horror, grin against opression, smile above the cajoleries of famine and death, at least try. Maybe it helps when you think, that those next to you might be struggling the same line, and a paired smile is a better beginning than you hoped for. And maybe they will gain momentum....

If not, than at least you had a better time in trying, than resigning right from the start.
