 willhelm says: I sometimes let others get in the way of my optimism. It happens quite frequently during the narrow-mindedness, bigotry, and hatefulness I confront. I have to constantly remain grounded in today's world and CHOOSE not to live in the materialist's world and live in my own reality. Optimism...what a novel idea! *Eeyore* has a hard time with optimism; too much reality. hmmm... optimism... sounds familiar, willhelm  this is a great clip. it gave me something worth thinking about as the day draws to a close. I used to live my life like this. I was so optimistic I made other people uncomfortable. It was my 'Can Do' attitude I learned in the SeaBees. Then I started to burn out, My body got tired. The dreams I held so dearly faded away, lost in the nightmare of life. I was on my own at 16 and one rainy night I asked my Dad why life could be so cold. I could see the pain in his silence. I never asked that question again. I'm 47 now, Dad is gone. I'm the Dad. My son asked me why life has to be so hard. I had no answer. I still long for the life I was promised. I will never get it. I will die alone and penniless. But at least Uncle Sam will bury me. Optimisticly, I will fertilize the soil and perhap... If you are still alive you should heed its concepts. If you are dead inside, like me. Welcome to the club.Nice try, skwirl. Anyone who has seen your clips knows your sense of wonder, insight, grounding and humor. One with those qualities is not dead inside. Ok. You are right, not dead inside. Um, ... in...different?,...numb?...glazed over?...exhausted?...ambitionless?....let me make one up...GUILTCHED? Hey skwirl, I made that comment before I read your other comment expressing your current feelings. I wasn't making light of anything. My last comment was just how I see ya. I wish you the best, skwirl. Wilhelm, It was right on the money. I'm not dead inside. You never have to apologise to me. I value your opinion. Willhelm, it is nice to see your face. willhelm, great clip! BTW your smile is a perfect endorsement for your optimism theme. If only life would stop getting in the way of my optimism all would be well. Agree with it all except the part about getting hit by a car - I would have to pity myself for just a little bit. |
