Regardless of what you can surmise from my blog here, I actually wake up incredibly positive.
Because I don't expect much from the world, but love (now) that I get to be a part of it.
I think that was the speech in "Blade Runner" when Roy Batty is about to expire (sorry for the spoiler alert) that he both is satisfied that he was created, but also realizes his memories will dissipate into the atmosphere. The idea is that you embrace all life have to give you.
A lot of people blame many factors on their unhappiness or simply don't know. On a podcast I listened to recently in regards to brain health, they mention that a source of a lot of homelessness is the incapability to recognize brain health. NOT mental illness. BRAIN HEALTH. To me, much of the people feel they have been abandoned or don't know how to cope with brain trauma, which could be from many factors. Substance abuse or emotional abuse. The doctor speaking did brain scans of many people who are lost in the world and concluded that many have these moments they can't recognize as an issue. Or have not addressed the damage that was done in the brain. Brain controls all.
A lot of the population are able to compartmentalize this function as organized beings. If you ever see the homeless, they create communities not unlike the ones people deem structural. They have just determined this living style isn't conducive to their own behavior.
Is one more right than the other? Well, depends on how you perceive it. To a lot of people (and based on media) being homeless is a stigma linked to a life full of bad decisions and behavior. To me, as long as they don't hurt themselves or others, it does not matter. As long as they can wake up with a positive outlook. But to a lot of the general public, the most likely wake up with very little hope.
If you woke up every morning living in a mobile home and a smile on your face and think life is awesome, there is no limits to the enriching life you lead. I'm sure a Wall Street banker would envy you.
Think positive everyone!
