Thought of the day: After returning from a good day of skiing, I read and watched news for a short time but it was just long enough to get me depressed: house vote to ban public funding for NPR, situation in Libya, and worst of all: more bad news from Japan - it's hard to believe that the unimaginable human tragedy can get even worse. So many bad news, tragedies and senseless acts in the past few years from all around the world - why? Has it always been like that and I just haven't paid attention? I can't help but wonder how much longer we can be cocooned in our comfortable life. I can't help but fear when the tide of events will catch us. I can't help but wonder where we are heading as a race. Yes, I'm sure a lot of doubts and fears will dissipate by tomorrow morning when the sun rises and I have had a good night of rest, but will anything have changed fundamentally? Probably not. Looking at it in a positive light, perhaps all these doubts and fears are what it takes to keep us grounded, no matter where we are, no matter what we do.
