I must admit that the nearer the date draws the more anxious I feel too.
For instance, the world keeps throwing surprises out there that make me ponder the wisdom of travelling abroad for cultural education. There is so much madness outside of the safe borders of the U.S..
Do you see the humor of that notion?
Today flights around the U.S. and Europe were thrown for a whirl with the threat of liquid explosives. Is evil truly trying to make its way to the U.S. again? Well it's likely already here, but honestly what can be done?
Isn't there some saying like 'evil begets evil' or something like that. If 'we' continue to isolate ourselves from interactions and knowledge of the world as a whole and all of its lovely sub-cultures and sub-sub-cultures then 'we' cannot change our evil ways of begetting evil.
And yes it truly is all a matter of perspective. I'll challenge anyone to out talk me on that point.
Interestingly there are roughly an equal number of people in my life who think my three month jaunt is fantastic-good and fantastic-crazy.
Isn't this exposure going to change me? For the better? Let's hope.
I cannot abide by those who would live their life in fear when so much joy is granted from living life in love.
I'll just have to trust in the notion that even the crazies of the world generally don't want to die even if the devotees are willing to do so. And since it seems that the crazies are running things and not the devotees the world should still be safe enough to endure my temporary exodus from the U.S..
