in response to my previous post...

so when i wrote that i was pissed off at the world, and well i would like to argue against my pessimist alterego.

a couple nights ago i watched "love actually" which as described by my friend would change my life. though it was not life-altering, the opening sequence made me think of my previous post. and thanks to the internet movie database (http://www.imdb.com) i can quote it :)
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.

so looking at this quote, the state of the world will always be full of turmoil, but i guess it could always be worse (i pray to God that it doesn't become worse) but i can't let it consume my life. i can do as much as i can do to effect the world :)

it's all in how you look at the glass, half empty or half full...
