When one looks at the massive negative forces in the Universe it is easy to become a pessimist .War, famine, natural disasters, non functioning governments and a host of other headlines may easily cast one into pulling the covers over one’s head. However, there is a smaller personal world where a person has some degree of control and options. Choice is available on many fronts in this world because the positive opportunities are all around us. One can choose to work harder to create a healthy family or work environment. Better schools and a fairer deal for those who have little power can be somewhat more viable here than on the larger world scale. As the entire web moves when a spider goes from one side to the other the smaller world can be changed by involvement and kindness.
