Hope? Motivation? Sometimes these things feel so very far away.
When you don’t have enough of it, money can absolutely buy happiness… or at least the time and energy to go after things that make you happy. There really are no easy solutions. “Work harder!” is not a way to enjoy free time. I mean, that’s stupid. It makes no sense.
So, what is this category? I hope it’ll become a little spot filled with sparks of thoughts, ideas, and a touch of humor for those times when things feel like a big steaming pile of shit. If we don’t try to focus on the good stuff sometimes, the darkness will become too much.
Also, I need to point out that we’re all in this together. With no help coming from the powers that be, we have to stand by each other’s side and reach out our hands. The tension between ethnicities, colors, genders, sexualities, whatever will never make anything better. It’s a distraction that keeps us from helping each other out the way we have to if we ALL want to survive and thrive.
Even curmudgeonly me has some hope left. Motivation can help us all take action when it seems like it’s not getting us anywhere. We have to believe and keep striving to build a world that’s worth living in.
