Episode III: The Revenge of the Shit

Change isn't the most pleasant thing on earth now is it? We've all had the unfortunate experience of being forced to enact or endure a change in our environment. It usually isn't pleasant business no? Well the fruits of the labour are often good though. After all, we're taught that so long as we embrace change, all will come to fruitition and we'll live happily ever after. Right? Right.

Or maybe not. Maybe I'm just too lazy to continue with my train of thoughts. Maybe I can't be arsed to think positive. Maybe I can't be arsed to think pessimistic. Maybe I just want to use the word "maybe" 5 times. Maybe I made a mistake and used it 6 times. Or perhaps I just can't bring myself to tell all you little boys and girls out there that 'ol Uncle 'rek isn't all he's cracked himself out to be, and that he just can't accomplish what he's said he would. Or perhaps not. Who knows? Certainly not me.

The responsibility for breakdown in the fabric does not lie on the shoulders of one. It never does. Can you name the person entirely and solely responsible for the civil war in Sudan? The individual single handedly repsonsible for global warming? The one person who brought the flowing scourge of the Boxing Day tsunami upon the hundreds of thousands of victims? The lone enitity who signed the death warrant of 3 quarters of the European population during the time of the Black Death?

Sometimes, it isn't just the obvious things that we should pay heed to.
2 Corinthians 4:18
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Play with the punctuation and the nuances. You'll understand some things.
2 Corinthians 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
Auf Weidersehen. I leave a much calmer person than I was when I began.
