NOW

On an optimistic note, rather, amidst the drudgery of mainstream journalism to report the dark side of the happenings in the world, I'd like to feed the human thirst for knowledge with the positive perspective through which I'm viewing life lately.

I'm probably not alone to notice and appreciate the paradigm shift to we the people in entertainment, socializing, journalism, entrepreneurship and, most importantly to me, religion. Regeneration and healing are a pattern occurring at large due, in the way I see it, to the technological innovations that are making it, together with the timing, possible .

The human need to share and participate is changing the way we are entertained. I see this in the surge of reality shows. It seems that as we were getting bored by passive entertainment the curtain was pulled on the financial institutions draining the economy. YouTube, Facebook, blogs, Tibesti, Ebay, Etsy and like networks demonstrate the current shift from the era of large institutions defining (and limiting our experience by doing so) the aspects of our lives pertaining to the networks mentioned. The financial collapse in the U.S. serves as a metaphor for the current era, in somewhat fearsome question, as it inevitably moves forward in ways I am actually excited about.

I'm fascinated by the body's capacity to heal itself. It too serves as a metaphor for the healing that occurs across the borders of our flesh. I believe in the human spirit to want and do good. This makes me less leery of others - regardless of spiritual orientation. I find this point of view to be personally liberating. I am thankful for and enjoying it. Because it does have everything to do with my religious faith. In the human desire for good, the bad heals - though slowly, surely. What's exciting about now is the advent of the technology that is connecting people. Because communication between persons who are driven to share by their love for what they know, as opposed to financial gain, expedites the healing process each member benefits from with time - secularly and spiritually.
