Wow, fantastic essay man.

I don't know......there's a lot of evil, ignorance and fear in the world.  But there's also a lot of good in places you might not expect to find it.  I have my moments as well where I doubt the goodness of this reality.  But then something will happen, an experience, a chance encounter that always seems to restore my knowledge of why we're all here.  We chose to be.....all for a reason.  We're here to learn, to experience and to grow....if we allow ourselves to.
