I like this line: “One horseman shy of an apocalypse.” I’ve been feeling that for years, a sense of imminent doom. Washington Post’s Dana Millbank bid us all a Happy Doomsday.

She only touches on a couple topics, no doubt the recent meeting she has covered, but the list of portents is growing. CNN talks about the Alaskan pipeline. Bush passes the buck on troop reduction to his successor. I could go on and on…

I know this blog is quite negative. I too often point out what I feel is wrong with our nation, our world, western culture… people in general. I do this in a spirit of hope, however weak, that my words inspire someone to improve their relation to their world. We all need to treat others better, to bring a renewed sense of integrity, honesty and commitment to fellow humans into our actions, words and thoughts. No one lives in a vacuum, indeed, we’re all intimately connected. To ignore this, as we have been doing for centuries, is exactly how we are now arguably at the brink of destruction.

Whether you believe in the Second Coming or not, can’t you feel the impending doom of mankind? If you dare to look, it’s all around us. Calm you mind and observe, you’ll see. Let this be a call to self improvement. Only by changing ourselves, can we change the world.
