*Yes...right, so the world is beautiful...no, this picture is beautiful. The world? I believe reality says, open the eyes and look very hard at the ugliness that man has done to himself and to the planet. Don't get me wrong. There are places that are so perfect, that when you see it and you're there, its almost as if you can face a reality that you must have died and went to heaven....but you didnt. So stating just that fact to yourself gives you the conclusion that the world has its faults. Lets face it, there are no such things as perfect people, only perfect intentions. Which holds true for even where we live, and sleep, and call our place, home sweet home...and then you wake up, and have to do it all over again...a year goes by, and you wake up, and have to do it again....and again....and again yet still. When the logical beauty is always around us, most people just dont see whats right in front of their faces. I look at my hand...I see fingers, skin, I know that under the skin is bone and blood and the nerves that let you feel. I believe I will have these hands, one time, for the period of my real given life...So I make sure that I use them to stop and see the beauty that is all around me, and create a barrier to keep out the ugliness that I dont want to see. Just because I dont want to see it, that by destroying this very beautiful place, we are really destroying ourselves. I remember hearing that man is destined to destroy himself...it wont be me. .....as usual, just my thoughts. ..... ~Johnny M. *GO CHECK OUT MY BRAND NEW WEBSITE!
