Lots of people are making lots of money by focusing on anger, painting other people as either naive, misguided, or evil. They’re all over the media. They reminds me of when I was a kid.and my dad would take me into the Hockomock swamps in southeastern Massachusetts to pick blueberries. I’d walk, at times, nearly hip deep in water moving from one blueberry bush to another. I’d see an occasional snake swim past. When we left the swamp with buckets full of blueberries we were covered in mud, soaked to the skin, and carried the smell of the swamp on our skin. That’s what it’s like if you listen to the negative naysayers during your day. At the end of the day, you carry the smell of the swamp. I like Oscar Wilde’s quote: “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” Be one of those who are looking at the stars. They’re there waiting for you to lock your sights on them.
