I am starting this thread to allow everyone a chance to speak their mind, heart and soul. If there's one thing we need, it's a chance to say what we're really feeling, without all the static. That's what Coldplay's music embodies eloquently, and it's a sorely needed exercise in this often repressive world.

 

 

So I will begin:

In a planet of people aware of the consequences of disparities between rich and poor; north and south: Why do we echo the errors of the past so long? Is it human nature to follow patterns, regardless of their flaws; are we to be myopic, or far-sighted? Is it fear of change (of mindsets)? Are we capable of being driven by foresight, or condemned to repeat the mistakes, be there ever slowly ebbing and flowing waves of change?? Or have we crossed a threshold, and have to wait for the wave to reach a distant shore of reality?

Many things should have changed by now; yet we plunge deeper into insanity with the environment; with wars and instability; with rips in the fabric of human compassion and true greatness - the higher aspirations we have so near, yet our insecurities seem to keep us locked-up in shackles?

I know motivations are ofen driven by immediacy - what can be done to change this? How do we steer the chaos? Help give me hope in this corner of earth - I'm tired of the apathy and the irrationality of the modern cult of limited thinking.

With All Sincerity,

-Chuck.

You need to be able to detach yourself and see the bigger picture. Then everything's fine and nothing can hurt you.;)

With all likelihood, change is just around the corner - I just grow impatient sometimes - especially when I see what I've seen lately..

Thanks for the words of encouragement!

No problem. Could you be more specific??

I get in trouble for speaking my mind :(

Me too----so I'm keeping my mouth shut for a while anyway. You express an opinion and some "still wet behind the ears ass" (not you Mark--damn if he sees this he'll probably have another go) says something to put you off posting altogether. Hell I was only defending Mark and he was only thanking me--what was the big deal?

So who was it?? You should never let anyone stop you being yourself. There's an appropriate saying: "Don't let the b*stards grind you down." You should keep that in mind.

I have a feeling I know which comment you're talking about, and that particular person has a mega-chip on his shoulder and has repeatedly shown he lacks a sense of humour. Therefore you should ignore him (I recommend use of the "ignore" button).

Hope this helps.;)
