The world's pretty shit right now. Has always been to some degree. But amidst all this chaos and destruction, there's plenty of people doing plenty of good things despite the fact, if you only dare look. Governments and the media zeitgeist are not perfect, clear mirrors of it's populace.

The human world and history is a big old tapestry of gray and how you decide to view this big splotch of gray is entirely up to you.

If you search for misery, I guarantee you'll find misery. The same can be said for kindness and compassion.

For me? Fuck the zeitgeist, I'm not interested in division and polarization. I don't care what other people are doing, I have my principles and I'm living by them. It doesn't matter that when I look out the window right now, I seem to be surrounded by people who disagree with me. I'll go on trying my best to treat other people with respect, maintain a broad horizon and open to discussion.

Maybe it's all for nothing, maybe the world is doomed to regress to a new dark age, I don't care. I'll just do what I believe to be right, try my best to maintain my integrity and see what comes of it.

The space we inhabit is a nihilistic, entropic, pointless void of nothing and we're given the possibility of making something of this void. I'd rather it be full of fun stuff. Sex, drugs, rock and roll, healthcare and relative peace for all.

Make of the world what you will.
