Coffee, Good for the Soul

As I sit here, mug to my left, I am reminded by the odd perplexities of human nature, the want, no, the need for power and physical gains. It is depressing how many people will sacrifice everything they stand for, or worse, the people who love them, just for one slightly larger niche in an intense and demanding society that we are forced to live in, and doomed to repeat. You may hear people saying that the world is changing into a far better place, but remember, we are still human, and as such we will be greedy, we will be jealous, and we will make mistakes. But what is profounding is the little shreds of wisdom we learn from these mistakes after the act of commiting them. I personaly beleive that if we just stood up and said no, not to some polished on-the-pedestal goverment figurehead, not to the "Man", but to ourselves, this world would change, it can change, and that is a bloody lot better than what we are heading into. Most people who have the power to change the world probably won't read this, nor will they have the time to, but if someone who is willing to make that stand, who is willing to say no to themselves, to try and better themselves, gets my respect. Because to be able to  "fix" a people, you have to have fixed yourself. Whew.
