As I have gotten older, I have learned that your attitude is derived from your perception of the given situation. What you see is what it is. Right? Wrong, we both know that our eyes can play tricks on us. The lights and the shadows might give us the illusion that something is there when that is not true. It is a trick on the mind of an unsuspecting person who wants to believe that all that they see is true. You might be asking yourself, "What does this have to do with attitude?" and I tell you it has everything to do with it.
I grew thinking that I could change the world. It was easy to do from what I saw. Yep, I figured that people didn't need to live poor because the Earth has many natural resources. The Earth makes food the birds so I am sure it makes food for humans too. The Earth also provides shelter for the bears in the woods so I know it has housing for homo-sapiens. Mind you, I was like ten years old when my attitude was simple and optimistic about the world.
Since I have gotten older and lived some of live, I learned that the world or the present set of idea of civilization is built on the capitalization of its fellow man with out any though of future preservation of anything. Just think about it, what happens when there is nothing left to produce and the consumers can't consume. Then what do you have left? A dead world.
I thought I was put on this planet for a reason. Remember, I told you I thought I could change the world. Huh, my attitude has changed from fantasy to reality. Long gone are the days of childhood bliss and simplicity. Now I live in the days where every man is for himself.
