Not Today

     Making people laugh gives me great joy.  I believe it has even been scientifically proven that laughter can help heal sickness.

     I wonder if maybe the leaders of the countries on this planet need to get together and share a few good laughs.  I wonder if that would help to make people get along?

     What makes the human race act so callously towards each other?  Is it greed?  Is it the need for power?  

     Wars based on religious beliefs are so futile.  They will never end because everyone who believes in something thinks their belief is the right one.  Just look around, especially if you live in a small community, and count how many different denominations of churches there are.  Is it really too much to ask to be able to agree to disagree?  

     One thing most all religious beliefs have in common is an 'end time' and world peace.  Well, what say we just bring that on?

     I would venture a guess that most people just want to live their lives without a lot of hassle.  To aspire to a dream, or raise a family, or invent some new thing to make life easier.  So, what happens along that route?  At what point do things go so terribly askew?

     We put people in leadership positions because for as long as humanity has roamed the earth, people have felt the need for a leader.  I'm beginning to wonder if maybe all the world leaders are already having a get-together, laughing it up and the collateral damage is just a means to an end.
