I’ve got to admit it’s getting better
friday nights are good for news. i was watching 20/20 and i saw something that really gave me hope.
times like these all you ever see is how fucked up everything is. people, politics, the environment... everything just seems to be getting worse. its hard not to listen to the announcers instead of looking at the facts. we've been hearing for years how the worlds forrests are being torn down and animals are losing their homes, crime is increasing and the government is twisted. ofcourse the government is twisted but the truth is things really are getting better. we're growing more forrests than we're tearing down and there are organizations working on rebuilding the endangered species populations. the world seems like such a dirty and polluted place but thats not so true either. infact the levels of all air pollutants known are lower than they've been in decades. violence and crime are down (believe it or not). hunger and poverty is low. hell... even the east river in NYC has been declared clean enough for swimming and fishing. you can even eat the fish!! sure there's war. sure there are crooked politicians and city officials. sure innocent people die and criminals run free. but the truth is the world is cleaner and safer than its been since before the depression and i think that's saying something. so turn off your tv and go outside.
but just because things are getting better doesnt mean we give up. now's the time we fight even harder. now's the time we really make progress. life is easy and money is all around us. we need to take advantage of this opportunity to make a better world for the children of tomorrow.
let's really put forth an effort in o6'. lets really fight for what we believe in. dont sit back for a second. dont give up.
this year is gonna be great. life is what you make it. focus on the bad and it will take hold of you.
