Whether you’re hopeful about the world or view it as a sinking ship, your attitude tells you more about you than about what’s going on out there. If life seems good, you’re likely in the habit of looking for the upside. If it looks gloomy, you’ve probably been consuming a steady diet of selective information about what has, is or eventually will go wrong. Your viewpoint doesn’t indicate your level of intelligence or perceptiveness as much as it does the quality of your self-created lenses. If the world feels broken, maybe it’s time for…
A new prescription.

Very thoughtful and provocative!
I find myself in a matrix of feeling the world, like us individuals, is perfect as it is, and simultaneously, acting in severe injustice to itself. So I try to use the perceived dangers and absurdities to inform my lens creation to help the world creation, along with my own, to help us all heal together.
We are all doing the best we can, and we can all grow into doing better, and I imagine that’s the fun of it. I trust we are all learning how to be real better. I think that’s a manageable bargain, as long as I see helping the world create itself as a manifestation, or after effect, of my own co-creation. I do see lately that I can help the world only by helping myself be in the world.
