If there were in the world.......

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.
Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

Now isn't that a lovely thought? Why is it that the only time we pull together as a community of human beings is when there is a disaster? I am thinking of the horrific tsunami which killed 63,000 people in southeast Asia.
We spend more of our time gossiping, back-biting and tearing one another down over the pettiest of things. Why not just live the best way we know how and be the best people we know how to be. Try it, you'll feel better. You'll find while your working on yourself, you won't have time for any of the old negative stuff.
