It goes on and on and on. Personally, I look for stories that inform me on how to improve my life and the lives of those around me. It wasn't always that way.

So that we won't have any more hungry people on the street. If they'll just grow the one 'plant' that requires almost no attention. And who says we should ever be broke or hungry or sad or jealous. I'm beginning to understand that it's all an attitude problem.
We get jealous when other people get stuff and we think "I want that." but you really don't. Think back to that time when you got something that you thought you really wanted to because getting it would make you 'acceptable' in the eyes of your friends. Now think how you felt when you realized how stupid that was... huh? Huh?
"I wish we could all lead simple lives... become farmers, keep a few animals, grow our own food and just be happy," someone told me the other day.
So why don't we, lead simple lives I mean. The answer is simple. Point at the thing/person/nothingness in front of you, and then look where the other three fingers are pointing. There's your answer.
