Comments on Chip Bergeron’s Poem - ‘A World Without Hope’ ...


DEAR CHIP ... A FINE POEM ... ALL YOU NEED IS ...

A SWIFT 'KICK IN THE ARSE'!

We all have 'mood swings' - it's Human - it's Natural. When a 'bad day' hits, or we are 'down in the doldrums' - there is a very simple answer at that particular moment in time ... LIFE SUCKS!

DUH? However, a 'shitty' day, week, month, or even year ...
is a HELLUVA lot better than 'the Alternative' - isn't It?

"HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!" ...
"WHERE THERE'S LIFE - THERE'S HOPE!"

I did my very best to always teach my two children that HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN! External Persons, Places, or Things can NOT make you HAPPY. It is a State of Mind - it is Achievable, but may require some Effort, or Work! It's a 'YOU CAN DO IT' state of mentality!

Sure - SHIT HAPPENS! 'Get Over It!'

Very little in Life is constantly STATIC. Each & Every day, Each & Every one of us, who is 'Above Ground' is in a constant state of FLUX, or Change!

Millions, perhaps Billions, of NEW CELLS are growing in our bodies, Each & Every Day! The 'Old Suckers' are being 'sluffed off' in our bed-sheets every night. UGH!

This fact certainly applies to Brain Cells also! But They’re on the Pillow!
Part of The 'SECRET' - if there IS one - is also very simple, working to find a 'happy' or 'workable' Balance between MANIA - Positive Thinking - everything is just 'Ducky' ... and DEPRESSION - Negative Thinking - ALAS! WOE IS ME!

Maybe it's like we're walking a constant 'Tight-Rope' - BUT - We Have a Balance Bar always with us ... my own little version of a 4-H Club ...

HOPE - HAPPINESS - HARD WORK - HYPE ... All generated from Within!

Now, if'n you Happen to Have - Halitosis, or Hemorrhoids -
yer in a Different CLUB!

That's my 'Two-Cents' Worth Story ... and I'm Stickin' To IT! ...

Peace, Friend!
