In the words of Madeleine Albright, 'The world's a mess,' yet just now, walking from one room to another I am overcome with an overwhelming sense of wellbeing.  How can that be so when there is so much trouble, strife, war, cruelty, stupidity and downright ignorance in the world?  I don't know. Because I am alive?  Because in my tiny corner of the world, right now, right this minute, I can still walk, I breathe, I have all my marbles, I am without thirst or hunger, I have enough clothes to warm me, in fact my house is warm while it is cold outside?  I could go on but that is the drift.   Some of us are so intent on what's wrong that we try and kill one another (or the planet) to make it right.
