Think

It doesn't take much to realize that the world isn't perfect at all. Not even rosy to begin with. And we can't seem to change it for the better. For millennia we have been experimenting with faith, knowledge, religion, relationships, and other institutions to cure ourselves and the world at large, and all attempts have failed.

We don't have to think much, or think deeply. Just think.

Cynicism is the accusation of the ignorant. The failure to think, let alone critically, has deprived them of the power to acquire the harsh truth out there. Ills of the world have become so internalized and institutionalized that many of us are oblivious of them.

I need to be insulate myself before my senses are tainted and rendered numb. I just want to feel again, lifting my spirits and flying them up high. Not at the expense of giving myself false hopes and painting naive pictures in my mind though.
