You might say it’s as bad as it ever was.
You’d be right.
You might say things have really taken a turn for the worse.
You’d be right, too.
You might say the world is a scary place, and we all better do everything we can to protect ourselves.
You’d still be right.
You might say it’s a beautiful time to be alive.
You’d be right.
You might say things aren’t easy, but light still shines in the midst of shadows.
You’d be right, too.
You might say the world is a place where peace has the power to manifest in ways that we can only imagine on our best days.
You’d still be right.
Remember the power that moves through thought. Your reality is what you make it. Look through the illusions, past the projected pain and around the fear that plagues what we are presented. Have compassion for those who suffer, but keep your energy to do the real work. Remember that you’ll always be right.
