" TIS THE SEASON "

This is the time of year that we tend to reflect truthfully to ourselves just who we are. It doesn't matter if you are a Christian, a Muslim, a Jew, or a Pagan, there is just something about this Christmas Holiday that lends it's self to self reflection. We look around at our world with open eyes, depending on how many cheers we have had, and reflect on humanity and where we are. It doesn't look to good folks. We seem to have taken the wrong road to happiness, or what we perceived as happiness. The "WE road" has been forsaken for "The ME road". But it isn't entirely our fault, we have been purposely let here by the deceptors and their carrot on a stick doctrine. So people this Holiday Season reflect and see if this is really where you want to be.....if not turn around and take the other path!

People will always look out for themselves. It is always going to be more about "me" than it is about "we." I believe happiness is something you can only find for yourself. There is no way that all of us will all be happy all the time. Thomas More was wrong. But, the best we can do is try to keep ourselves happy without ruining it for others.

You are right, if you look around, it doesn't look good. It never really has. Humans are a selfish, stupid brood.

The best we can do during the holiday season is to look around and be appreciative of those that we do have. Family and friends that care. Other than that, we don't have much as a collective group of humans. As George Carlin said, "I hope we're not just human garbage drifting toward a big sewer. But I think so."
