A bit of Good News … or “ The very best of Hair Days ” ( 06 / 04 / 2016 )
“ Going to Hell in a hand basket ” is a phrase I ' ve heard quite a bit these last few days -- and for seemingly good reason ... Rampant animal cruelty ( a . k . a . “ meat ” & “ milk ”), America ' s next President ( currently a choice between a bigoted narcissist and a war-mongering sociopath ), and the world ' s poor fighting amongst themselves ( instead of focusing their discontent on those who are truly responsible for their pain ) are all daunting challenges looming on humanity ' s next horizon ...
Heck , sometimes it really does feel like a good hair day ( see Opus on the opposing page ) is all we ' ve got going for us .
Of course , the only thing we truly have going us is the thing we always have going for us – the ability we have every day to make Life more Peace-full :
*… the ability to go vegan ( and start living a life consistently based in
Compassion ); even the ability to protest loudly for animal rights -- to boldly stand up for Justice and help stop the madness …
*… the ability to reach out to conservatives & liberals alike and remind them that there are no more political solutions for problems caused by politics in the first place ; and also the ability to join forces with our neighbors and start rebuilding our communities -- making them self-sustainable havens of Health & Caring …
*… the ability to reach out to all strangers with a smile of Kindness ; even the ability to reach out to the downtrodden – to the poor , to the hungry , to the homeless , to the fearful -- with random acts of Respect-filled Kindness .
This is what I call “ Love ”, my Friends , and this is why I still get up every morning ... This is the only revolution worth fighting and it is the only revolution that will ever ultimately succeed .
In conclusion then , good hair days simply aren ' t enough … We ' ve got to WAKE UP to what is actually going on around us … … and then we ‟ ve got to get out there and CARE !
