A Moment's Thought

Culture? Suggesting that there is "culture" to sit in a $500 seat at an opera wearing a five thousand dollar dress while 32,000 children die every day from malnutrition is one of the more arrogant forms of denial and low esteem.

Whether you're old enough to remember the groundbreaking Thanksgiving Day broadcast in the early 1960's which documented so vividly the distressful survival conditions of America's migrant workers, or have seen recent photos or television reports of the heart-wrenching bloated stomachs of little children, we all feel pain at the moment, wishing it weren't so. Here's where we see the difference between wishing and wanting. Those who wish, wish. Those who want, get. Everyone would like a Rolls Royce; very few actually want one. Those who want one generally do whatever's necessary to get one. This rule applies to every single facet of your life; every result in your life, good, bad, or indifferent. From Abe Lincoln's comment that "people are generally just about as happy as they make up their mind to be," we can call up an instant image of people who are determined to find what's wrong in life so that they can moan and groan about it… right next to a colorful picture of people we know who are equally determined to find the sunny things in life. From Vince Lombardi, arguably the greatest sports coach in history, we're reminded that our results in life are always mathematically related to our efforts in life, no matter what the endeavor.
