Magnet for Pessimism?

I can't escape the sense that our nation's economic foundation is rotting beneath us. I find it hard to deny the feeling of impending crisis that is beginning to resonate with undeniable clarity. The message is gradually organizing itself in my brain like pieces to a puzzle. Its all fitting together reinforcing a sense of impending catastrophe.

I feel like a minority, but I'd rather be a realistic pessimist than an ignorant optimist.

All Insane

I am intrigued by the persistent disconnect some people have between reality and perception. Yesterday Bush admitted the economy had some "storm clouds" but persisted in stating that the economy is "sound". Today, on Kudlow, McCain mentioned essentially the same thing... that the economy is sound. Most television-economists insist the same thing.

They are all insane.

Sum 41 - We're All To Blame

Unarticulated Knowledge

Human judgment and understanding are at their best when they are tempered by intuition. By maintaining an unfettered openness to social, political and cultural conditions we are able to enter a realm which evokes unsolicited glimpses of truth. Gradually you learn to trust these feelings as they tend to result in better decision-making than any amount of intellectual reasoning or logic.

10 Years - Wasteland

Change my attempt good intentions

Crouched over
You were not there
Living in fear
But signs were not really that scarce
Obvious tears
But I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help
And please see
The bleeding heart perched on my shirt

Die, withdraw
Hide in cold sweat
Quivering lips
Ignore remorse
Naming a kid, living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I
Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I

Crowned hopeless
The article read living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red
but I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I

Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I

A Humble Goal

From henceforth, I strive to rise above the mass of organisms whose restricted thought and limited insight provide no other purpose than to nourish their ego.

Faith Hypothesis

Faith is an elusive level of thought, so powerful, it prevails over reality in terms of certainty. In addition, there is a sense of energy and connectedness that surpasses anything reality can offer. You begin to understand the truth behind the saying that faith is the path to knowing God.

That is my goal. How to get there, I'm in the dark. But I am confident in one thing.  Religion does not have a monopoly on Faith.
