I find it hard to believe that this world
has always been as screwed up as it is
today and it's the media alone that make
everything so visible to us now.
I find it hard to believe that the entire
history of mankind is one of ignorance,
arrogance, cruelty, greed and gullibility,
which is what the media tell us endlessly,
24/7, ad nauseam, "and now the news."
I find it hard to believe that you and I
can't sit down and have a civil conversation
despite whatever differences in politics,
religion and life-philosophy we may have.
I find it hard to believe that I am writing this
with considerable doubt and wishful thinking
but I am.
