The mouth curves up.  The mouth curves down.  Up is far more fun.

The change from predominantly down to predominantly up doesn’t have to take years.  But what can I say to convince people of that?

I could pull out all the wise words in my vocabulary – too many of them, in fact – and drone on in lecture mode.  But deaf ears would follow.

Sometimes I say good stuff but there are eight billion other humans with cool minds.  I found one yesterday on the internet.  So here he or she is.

Your job is to read these next words and feel into the being who said them.

And then …

Read the sentences from bottom to top.  A different mind … joined by a heart.

Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don't try to convince me that
There's something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look
This world is a pretty evil place
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in awhile
Satisfaction and happiness don't last
And it's not true that
It's all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be attained
Only if one's surroundings are good
It's not true that good exists
I'm sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It's all beyond my control
And you'll never in a million years hear me say that
Today was a good day
