feeling listless

Feelings The title of this weblog has been notoriously ironic because for some reason I never really get that depressed. Whenever I think that thing have hit the wastebin, some words flitter though my mind, spoken by my mother once when I had a gripping hangover: "This too will pass." In other words, we need to look towards the future always. Nienna of Swanky offers her case for optimism, and it's a piece which should resonate with everyone who's ever considered the unmentionable:

"Don’t believe me, consider these two facts: a. If you are reading this, chances are you have a computer and a modem. Most people in the world still can’t afford the luxury of a black and white T.V. b. If you don’t own it, chances are you are viewing this in a library, a friend’s house, or an internet café. That means you have easy access to a computer and a modem. Most people can’t even claim that. You might think that these are meaningless points, but if you stop and consider it, think about what those two things say about the society you live in and the kind of life you lead. Chances are, you have food, you have indoor plumbing, you can take a shower with hot water, and you have a roof over your head. Those things show that life isn’t that bad, really."
