Others' heartlessness or fear-mongering doesn't inspire me, at all.
Edited on Thu May-18-06 07:08 PM by Just Me
It just makes me sad. I don't "feed" off anger because it weakens me, steals reason and my humanity from me.

Why are there so many expressions, here and elsewhere and (seemingly) everywhere, of others' heartlessness rather than attention to inspiration and hope?

I mean, has our best already been mastered by the worst?

Jus' wonderin' :shrug:

1. Hope is quiet
anger is noisy. That doesn't mean that the latter is stronger than the former. Hope, when lit with inspiration, can indeed move mountains. Rest assured that when one focuses on Unity, all discords vanish, and all that is left is Heart.

4. The "anger" is stealing peace,....and it's everywhere.
The "anger" and "frustration" and "powers-that-be" are imposing their NOISE upon us. It's not "heart" that carries us through this crap,...it is spirit, something greater than our bodies (and I apologize in advance if that statement is construed as lecture rather than belief). :hug:

7. No lecture
because you are absolutely correct. My mystical friends are grouping together, realizing that we can help each other maintain peace and justice within-it is from this that we can achieve what is needed for the universe.

2. This is the world the people voted for.
I dunno why they're so pissed off now.

3. To quote George Michael:
"So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back
'Cause he has no children to come back for

It's hard to love there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time."


- from "Praying for Time"
