We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
—Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thought for the Day: Humans can be extremely disappointing. We’re very often petty, greedy little creatures intent on maintaining our little piece of the pie, rather than daring to give the pie away and bake a new one. For thousands of years, we have lived under the false impression that our resources should be controlled by the powerful few. From the clan leader to the Pharaoh, from the King to the Parliament, we have allowed the Earth’s abundance to be controlled by the wealthy elite. Well, maybe we haven’t allowed it as much as we have had that model forced on us.

Things will only change—and change permanently if we the people take back control of our lives. The peaceful protests happening around the United States are a good start, but if we want to change our world, we have to elect leaders without deep pockets and connections to corporations. The ISIS model of revolution is doomed to fail. The system can only be changed from the inside, and to get people on the inside means finding and supporting candidates who aren’t beholden to the corrupt political system that is endemic to the entire Western World.

The possibilities are infinite. We are taught to believe that our world is finite, but the truth is that our observable universe and the natural resources of this planet are just a single pixel in a multi-dimensional reality. We are infinite beings in an infinite universe. And that means there are infinite possibilities, as long as we never lose hope.
